Indian Railways WAG-12B electric locomotive #60338, built by Alstom at the Madhepura Electric Locomotive Pvt. Ltd. (MELPL) plant, seen on a stub-end track (pocket siding) at Madgaon Junction on March 26, 2025. Crew members appeared to be inspecting or testing the unit. The WAG-12B is a high-horsepower (12,000 hp) freight-dedicated locomotive, introduced in 2019 as part of India's modernization of heavy haul rail operations. It’s intended for use on electrified freight corridors and is most commonly seen in eastern and northern India. Its presence in Goa, on the Konkan Railway, is unusual and may suggest a test run, trial deployment, or power swap en route to a freight corridor.
