BWN WDM-6 18902 in LHF mode. Only 2 such locos are present in the entire IR network, and both of them belong to BWN DLS. They have Bo-Bo bogies. The shell has close resemblance to a YDM-4, but the driving cab resembles a WDM-2. I found this loco at Bandel Yard. (Siddhartha)

@Apurva sir: Sir, I also don't have the answer to your question. But indeed, you are right, that a YDM-4 or a YDM-4A don't have it..

@Vijay sir: It is used only for shunting and departmental duties, sir...

What is the part sticking out of the roof, parallel to the exhaust stack? A YDM4 does not have this, so it seems to be unique to a WDM6.

It wud be lovely to see WDM6 twins hauling KK express. They look unique and lovely

Thanks a lot Siddharth for this rare pic. Is this used only for shunting or for long / short haul also?
