	The Indian locomotive class '''WDM-2''' is a class of [[diesel-electric locomotive]] that was developed in 1962 by [[American Locomotive Company]] (ALCO) for [[Indian Railways]]. The model name stands for [[5 ft 6 in gauge railway\|broad gauge (W)]], Diesel (D), Mixed traffic (M) engine, 2nd generation (2). They entered service in 1962. A total of 2700+ WDM-2 was built at ALCO and [[Banaras Locomotive Works]] (BLW), Varanasi between 1962 and 1998, which made them the most numerous class of mainline diesel locomotive until its successor the [[Indian locomotive class WDM-3A\|WDM-3A.]]		The Indian locomotive class '''WDM-2''' is a class of [[diesel-electric locomotive]] that was developed in 1962 by [[American Locomotive Company]] (ALCO) for [[Indian Railways]].

A total of 2700+ WDM-2 was built at ALCO and [[Banaras Locomotive Works]] (BLW or DLW, as it was formerly Diesel Locomotive Works), Varanasi between 1962 and 1998, which made them the most numerous class of mainline diesel locomotive until its successor the [[Indian locomotive class WDM-3A\|WDM-3A.]]

	The WDM-2 is one of the most successful locomotives of Indian Railways serving both passenger and freight trains for over 60 years. A few WDM-2 units were exported to neighboring countries like [[Sri Lanka Railways\|Sri Lanka]] and [[Bangladesh Railway\|Bangladesh]]. Despite the introduction of more modern types of locomotives like [[Indian locomotive class WDG-4\|WDG-4]] and electrification, a significant number are still in use, both in mainline and departmental duties. As of April 2022, 10 locomotives still retain "operational status" on the mainline as WDM-2, with further examples in service as [[Indian locomotive class WDM-3A\|WDM-3A]] or WDM-2S.
