The Indian locomotive class WP is a class of 4-6-2 "Pacific" steam locomotives used in India. It was introduced after World War II for passenger duties, marking the change from 'X' to 'W' as the classification code for broad gauge locomotives. The class was designed specifically for low-calorie, high-ash Indian coal, by Railway Board designers in India.
WP class locomotives were capable of going up to 110km/h (68mph) and were easily recognized by their bulging, cone-shaped nose, usually with a silver star device painted on it.
