I have always said light and single locos make a great pic. The WDS-6 of KJM shed idles at BYPL. I saw this guy every time I went to rail fan there! BYPL, 2004-01-18. By Ranganath Eunny.

Are there any Y class or Z class shunters in India? Guess you do not need a W Unigauge system or not.

Since the WDSs invariably have railway men ride the catwalk, getting in and out of the loco while shunting, I guess the extra railing helps them. Provides them more secure poles to hold on to. Re: Apu's thought - is it a prelude to how IR will...

The classification is not partly painted, but has faded due to some greasy substance on it. I agree with Apurva that many shunters have additional railings. I have seen them at the Vizag port with these railings.

The support railings are found on many WDS 6s - I wonder why the loco classification WDS 6 is partially painted over.

Additional support railings on this loco. I wonder if this is one off or they are doing them to all shunters. Is a good sign.
