Train nomenclature

Each railway route in India has its own distinctive name, usually evocative of the places it connects or passes through. Usually, these names are taken from those of landmarks, landforms, rivers, famous people, or the important temples and shrines that lie along the route. Some important railway routes managed by the SCR are:

WDP4 Loco with SCR

SCR credits first to introduce WDP4 EMD locomotives with 4000Horsepower capacity. The Locoshed wad first established at Hubli Division of Then SCR and present day SWR. The purpose was to increase fuel efficiency and banking of locomotives on Briganza Ghat of Goa Section. Most of the Iron ore is transported through Mormugao Section. SCR lost these locomotives due to the formation of South Western Railways and bifurcation of Hubli Division.
