Alright Mr. Rohit Kapoor, you are wrong in a sense because Jamalpur is not in West Bengal but is in Bihar. Also, WDM-6 is a very rare class of loco from BWN shed which is not used for any freight or passenger service. It is primarily used for shunting...

I have seen locos of BWN(Burdwan) Shed as far as at Varanasi Jn.I think West Bengal State has got the highest number of loco sheds (9 of them)on IR which are at Howrah,Burdwan,Andal,Asansol,Kharagpur,Jamalpur,Malda Town,Santragachi and Siliguri.

Rare beast WDM-6 from BWN. The moderators should move this photo in the IRFCA archives!

This is a BWN based WDM 6. There are only 2 locos of this type and both are homed at BWN.

This loco is extremely rare, there is only 2 locos which are both in BWN. I guess since JMP has a large workshop, you can often find various diesel locos of ER (Eastern Railway) here!!! As illustrated by this picture.
