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.

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

This is a domestic container train service.

Can you tell me which route these container trains are taking to north India? KR or GT route?

I think those signals function as "Bracketed Home" under two-aspect signalling territory.If the route is set for the mainline,the right hand unit should display a green aspect while if a diverging route is set,then the left unit will display the appropriate route indication with a yellow aspect.This has probably been done to maintain uniformity with other two-aspect semaphore signals in the area.

This was one of the classiest Indian designed locos. Sharp eye pleasing angles and a good performance to match. Those offset round portholes only add to the loco's well designed looks.
