The Indian locomotive class WAG-2 was a class of 25 kV AC electric locomotives that was imported from Japan in the 1960s for Indian Railways. Its class designation denotes a broad gauge (W) alternating current (A) goods (G) locomotive of the 2nd generation (2). A total of 45 WAG-2 locomotives were built by The Japanese Group (a consortium of Mitsubishi, Hitachi and Toshiba) between 1964 and 1965. They entered service in 1964.
The WAG-2 served both passenger and freight trains for nearly 40 years. As of January 2001, all locomotives have been withdrawn from service and scrapped.
