"Shahenshah", the WP-1 # 7200 bullet-nose steam engine named Shahenshah departs with a Heritage Special train from Delhi Safdarjung station on Jan 20, 2007, sounding its loud steam whistle. This steam locomotive is now based at the Rewari Steam Loco Shed and used on special occasions. The giant weighs 102.4 tonnes, and has a wheel arrangement 4-6-2. Baldwin Locomotive Works (BLW), Philadelphia was awarded the task of building the first sixteen prototype WP class locomotives. These were numbered from 7200 to 7215 and went to GIPR, BBCIR and EIR. These engines soon earned the reputation for free steaming, fuel economy and good riding characteristics.
