The locomotives of India presently consist of electric and diesel locomotives. Steam locomotives are no longer used in India, except in heritage trains. Locomotives are also called locos or engines.
The Bengal Sappers of the Indian Army were the first to run a steam locomotive in India. The steam locomotive named ‘Thomason’ ran with two wagons for carrying earth from Roorkee to Piran Kaliyar in 1851, two years before the first passenger train ran from Bombay to Thane in 1853.

Classification of Locomotives
In India, locomotives are classified according to their track gauge, motive power, the work they are suited for and their power or model number. The class name includes this information about the locomotive. It comprises 4 or 5 letters. The first letter denotes the track gauge. The second letter denotes their motive power (Diesel or Electric) and the third letter denotes the kind of traffic for which they are suited (goods, passenger, mixed or shunting). The fourth letter used to denote locomotives' chronological model number. However, from 2002 a new classification scheme has been adopted. Under this system, for newer diesel locomotives, the fourth letter will denote their horsepower range. Electric locomotives don't come under this scheme and even all diesel locos are not covered. For them this letter denotes their model number as usual.
A locomotive may sometimes have a fifth letter in its name which generally denotes a technical variant or subclass or subtype. This fifth letter indicates some smaller variation in the basic model or series, perhaps different motors, or a different manufacturer. With the new scheme for classifying diesel locomotives (as mentioned above) the fifth item is a letter that further refines the horsepower indication in 100 hp increments: 'A' for 100 hp, 'B' for 200 hp, 'C' for 300 hp, etc. So in this scheme, a WDM-3A refers to a 3100 hp loco, while a WDM-3F would be a 3600 hp loco.
Note: This classification system does not apply to steam locomotives in India as they have become non-functional now. They retained their original class names such as M class orWP class.

The classification syntaxes
The first letter (gauge)
- W – Indian broad gauge (the "W" Stands for Wide Gauge - 5 ft 6 in)
- Y – metre gauge (the "Y" stands for Yard Gauge - 3 ft or 1000mm)
- Z – narrow gauge(2 ft 6 in)
- N – narrow gauge (2 ft)
The second letter (motive power)
- D – diesel
- C – DC electric (can run under DC overhead line only)
- A – AC electric (can run under AC overhead line only)
- CA – both DC and AC (can run under both AC and DC overhead line); 'CA' is considered a single letter
- B – Battery electric locomotive (rare)
The third letter (job type)
- G – goods
- P – passenger
- M – mixed; both goods and passenger
- S – shunting (also known as switching engines or switchers in the USA and some other countries)
- U – electric multiple unit (used to carry commuters in city suburbs)
- R – railcars
For example, in "WDM 3A":
- "W" means broad gauge
- "D" means diesel motive power
- "M" means suitable for mixed (for both goods and passenger) service
- "3A" means the locomotive's power is 3,100 hp ('3' stands for 3000 hp, 'A' denotes 100 hp more)
Or, in "WAP 5":
- "W" means broad gauge
- "A" mean AC electric traction motive power
- "P" means suitable for Passenger service
- "5" denotes that this locomotive is chronologically the fifth electric locomotive model used by the railways for passenger service.
Broad gauge (5 ft 6 in) locomotives used in India
Steam traction
Company designs
In the nineteenth century, the various railway concessions ordered locomotives to their own specification, usually from British manufacturers. This multiplicity of similar, but different designs, increased manufacturers' costs and slowed production. During the 1890s, British manufacturers had full order books, so Indian railway companies looked to Germany and the United States for locomotives.[1]
British Engineering Standards Association (BESA) designs
After acrimonious words in The Times and Parliament, the British Engineering Standards Committee (later British Engineering Standards Association or BESA) began to design a series of locomotives for use by all railways in India. The first two designs emerged in 1903: a 4-4-0 passenger, and 0-6-0 goods. The designs were revised in 1905 and 1906 with additional types added due to requests for heavier and more powerful locomotives:
- Class SP – Standard Passenger – 4-4-0;
- Class SG – Standard Goods – 0-6-0;
- Class PT – Passenger Tank – 2-6-4T;
- Class HP – Heavy Passenger – 4-6-0;
- Class AP – Atlantic Passenger – 4-4-2;
- Class HG – Heavy Goods – 2-8-0;
- Class HT – Heavy Tank – 2-8-2T.
These BESA designs however were advisory, not mandatory, and were customised by the railway companies to their own taste. The railway companies could not even agree to use the same classification system: only the state operated railways used the class designations SP, SG, PT, HP, AP, HG and HT. Once superheating became accepted, superheated versions were classified SPS, SGS, etc. if built with superheaters, and SPC, SGC, etc. if converted from saturated to superheated.
Indian Railways Standards (IRS) designs
After World War I, new, larger, more powerful locomotives were designed by the British consulting engineers to the Indian Government. These started to appear from 1927 onwards:
- Class XA – branch passenger 4-6-2 design;
- Class XB – light passenger 4-6-2 design;
- Class XC – heavy passenger 4-6-2 design;
- Class XD – light goods 2-8-2 design;
- Class XE – heavy goods 2-8-2 design;
- Class XF – light shunting 0-8-0 design;
- Class XG – heavy shunting 0-8-0 design;
- Class XH – 4-cylinder 2-8-2 (not built)
- Class XP – experimental passenger 4-6-2;
- Class XT – light tank 0-4-2T;
- Class XS – experimental 4-cylinder 4-6-2.
World War II designs
During World War II, large numbers of 2-8-2 locomotives were acquired from the United States and Canada, and were designated as classes AWD and CWD respectively. SeveralUSATC S160 Class locomotives were adapted for broad gauge and became class AWC.
Indian Government Railways (IGR) standard designs
Shortly before World War II, new classes were designed; but it would post-war before many of them came into service. These new designs were signalled by the change of broad gauge prefix from 'X' to 'W'. In addition, plans were put into place to start manufacturing locomotives in India. The new classes were:

- Class WP – passenger 4-6-2;
- Class WG – goods 2-8-2;
- Class WL (1st) – light 4-6-2 (four for North Western Railway in 1939; all to Pakistan at Partition);
- Class WL (2nd) – light 4-6-2;
- Class WM – 2-6-4T;
- Class WT – 2-8-4T;
- Class WU – 2-4-2T;
- Class WV – 2-6-2T;
- Class WW – 0-6-2T.
All broad gauge steam locomotives in India have been withdrawn from normal service, with only occasional steam specials continuing to operate.
