This is the radiator end !
Should see how heat levels are tolerated. Poor paint job as weather has taken its toll hardly months after commissioning.
Looks like the cab(smaller)is just taken and stuck at this end. Notice the Misalignment at the Footplate of this loco cab!

The green band on the side of the driving cab indeed denotes it is not fit for mainline duties..

Abhishek Risbud, this is not a shunter but a mainline service loco. Probably the yellow livery misled you

There is a jumbo pair in KGP shed. I guess they are MU-ed for last 5 years and are numbered as 17976 and 17823.

Wonderful symmetry! Great composition.

Shunter. Different livery!

don't like this "gaajar-mattar" livery! :-(

Wonderful! I don't recall seeing a MUED pair of two Jumbos ever - either in person or picture. Many thanks!
