The Indian locomotive class WT was a class of heavy tank locomotives used on broad gauge lines in India from 1960.[1] [2] These locomotives were built to operate local trains in Eastern Railways zone on Howrah to Burdwan main line.
The thirty members of the WT class were designed in India,[3] and built by Chittaranjan Locomotive Works, Chittaranjan, in Burdwan District, West Bengal, India. The first WT class locomotive rolled out of Chittaranjan Locomotive Works in March of 1959 and was also named Chittaranjan.
