Thats the Traction Motor cooling blower.It takes its air feed directly from the body-side panel and hence there is no air draft through the machine room(unlike in the conventional tap-changer locos).The smaller blower in the rear is the scavenge blower to the Traction Motor cooling blower intake filter.The scavenge blower removes the clogged dirt from the intake filter.

This is the second WCM6 in the series and the sole surviving one.The first WCM6#20187 was christened as "Karamvir" and had caught fire in an accident and hence was scrapped. Siddhartha Fondekar.

Akshay, I think one WCM-6 is stabled at LNL Trip Shed.

Kharad check out the shed name on the bottom left hand side of the loco - it says Bhusaval so I guess this has been transferred but it retains its class called WCM 6.
