With a rich history and reliable locomotive factory of Indian Railways , CLW has been the power house of many succesful electric locos like WCM 5 , WAP 1 , WAM 4 & WAP 4 many of which are still doing well in hauling passengers . However in 2015 CLW stopped manufacturing WAG 7 and the ever reliable WAP 4 class electric locos ,leaving behind the three phase locos WAP 5 , 7 and WAG 9 .

Recently in 2016 a second unit of CLW has been opened at Dankuni , West Bengal , which is also manufacturing WAG 9 class locomotives as well .
