	Suki 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 designate locos in the future ? since the W will be redundant with project uni-gauge. Posted by Guest on 2004 Jan 22 12:27:20 +0000
	Ranganath Just which camera do you use? Your pics have always been a treat! The greenery is pronounced and syncs well with the railway. Posted by Guest on 2004 Jan 22 09:30:00 +0000
	Ranganath Is this on the Gopalapatnam side? Posted by Guest on 2004 Jan 22 09:20:50 +0000
	Ranganath 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. Posted by Guest on 2004 Jan 22 06:02:52 +0000
	anil tharian there a lot of wdm3a transfers happening to kjm from gooty espicially.this was perhaps previously a gooty loco(notice the division marking right under the drivers window which has been painted over).this is the DCW colour which will be painted to kjm colour probably after a year. kjm is also written in hindi on the cabin.

	anil tharian not a baldie.it had a flat control stand as in the wdm2c/3a's.if you notice all the loco's having the flat control stand(with a steering wheel for notches),have the drivers window on the opposite side to that of a loco with vertical control stand.

	Apurva (iti@vsnl.com) Was this loco a baldie ? The cab layout is reversed (driver's window on the left) - what sort of control stand did it have ? Posted by Guest on 2004 Jan 22 04:06:01 +0000
	Apurva (iti@vsnl.com) The support railings are found on many WDS 6s - I wonder why the loco classification WDS 6 is partially painted over. Posted by Guest on 2004 Jan 22 03:56:41 +0000
	Alok 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. Posted by Guest on 2004 Jan 21 18:37:46 +0000
	Jagan Mohan I can see "SWR" printed clearly under the driver's window, but I don't see any KJM markings. Even the livery isn't the typlical KJM blue. Posted by Guest on 2004 Jan 21 18:17:16 +0000
