Frankly, it does not appear ugly to me.....a lot has been said about its triangular (or pentagonal?) end, but to me it looks quite attractive & different from the boring boxy lines of WDMs.

Right ! no loco can ever be termed as an "ugly duckling" It would have been a dream come true had this loco been rated at 5000 BHP.

The dome is because of the AC vent and not due to the compressor. The compressor comes at the ends in an enclosure called RMPU(roof mounted Packaged Unit).

There is no Bilaspur-Durg Intercity express on the route. Being electrified it runs with Bhilai shed WAM engine. The photo shown may be perhaps the Korba-VSKP Link Express or some passenger (VSKP-DURG/ R-VSKP Passenger). The photo is taken on R-TIG Branch line.
