@anant_s is loco number 23384 a WAM 4 or WAG 5? If yes , it might be a case of early decommissioning.

Yes it is unbelievable specially for Indians.

You will not want me posting 14 pages about list of radiators , brakes , copper wires , wheel sets ,etc stolen from Pakistan Railways , will you ?

No surprise. I learned Israel have lost 5 of American made jet engines from its military facility.

Try finding it in China.. locomotive might be there. May be Chinese are reverse engineering advanced Indian locomotive? Who knows!

We are most likely talking about a 1980s built locomotive which were to be decommissioned in next 5-10 years.Nothing much worth to gained from stealing.

Yes you can open a different thread and do it but not here since topic is Indian locomotive just vanished without any trace.

 

[Ankit Kumar 002]

Yes as I anticipated , it's a WAG5 A. http://www.irfca.org/apps/locos/show/8589

It must be busy with a rake somewhere.

It is one of the few with those rare Barbie Doll Livery.

All members , as shown by its history , its last overhaul was done at Dahod, so no surprise , it might be undergoing it away from TKD again.

Seems a case of miscommunication.

It was manufactured in 1989, and was expected to be decommissioned soon.

 

[Indian009]

LOL !!! Is it a missing weak or something ????
First Pak PM went missing then our Rail engine !!!!!
NS must have stolen it while he was missing
That's all form me here.

Before trolling, do understand that your country hasn't ever designed or manufactured an AC electric locomotive. Heck, you have only assembled diesel electric locomotives until now.

You folks don't even have a sizeable railway Industry, and that wouldn't stop you from mocking a country that manufactures & exports railway rolling stock.

so it means its common - the countries that manufactures and exports railways whatever - loose few here and there?- without any trace -

i am asking because we dont manufacture or export railways whatever - so we dont know -

The ( supposedly) missing loco. 3,850HP AC WAG 5A , dedicated freight locomotive. Clicked earlier.

yup if it can power my house electricity -

 

[gslv mk3]

you cant just loose a 40+ tonne loco

120 tonne.

That sentence about railway Industry was.added because your dear compatriot here started unnecessary comparisons with China & their locomotives.

You cannot shed Pakistan off your capable minds even when your own engines disappear from your own railway lines.

Are you retarded or something? The facts about Pakistan's non existent railway Industry was added, because you started comparisons.

It needs 25KV to move itself. You will need to feed it.
