	The [[Electro-Motive Diesel\|EMD]] '''GT50AC''' or '''WDG-5''' a class of heavy haul [[Diesel electric locomotive\|Diesel-electric]] locomotive built by [[Banaras Locomotive Works]], Varanasi in collaboration with Electro-Motive Diesel. At a rated power output of {{Convert\|5500\|hp\|kW\|abbr=}}, it is the second most powerful diesel locomotive class in [[Indian Railways]], just out-powered by the {{Convert\|6000\|hp\|kW\|abbr=}} [[Indian locomotive class WDG-6G\|WDG-6G]]. Derived from the '''[[EMD SD80MAC]]''', it was meant as a direct upgrade to the [[Indian locomotive class WDG-4\|WDG-4]] ([[EMD SD70 series\|SD70MAC]] derivative).The locomotive or the series is named [[Bhima\|Bheem]], after the strong [[Pandava\|Pandav]] brother from epic of [[Mahabharata\|Mahabharat]]. The loco has an '''[[EMD 710\|EMD 20N-710G3B-EC]]''' '''[[V20 engine\|20 cylinder engine]]''' of the '''[[EMD SD80MAC]]''' and an AC-AC transmission.

Development of this locomotive is one of the Best Examples of Atma-Nirbhar Bharat. This loco was unfortunately stopped only with 7 units due to the Fuel Inefficiency of the v20-710 powerpack, the same reason why even the Original SD80MAC were made less in number, and were finally Scrapped Off. <ref>{{Cite web\|date=2011-09-29\|title=EMD to deliver high-power diesel locomotives to Indian Rail\|url=https://www.railway-technology.com/news/newsemd-to-deliver-high-power-diesel-locomotives-to-indian-rail/\|access-date=2020-07-13\|website=Railway Technology\|language=en-GB}}</ref>
