Rare catch. A sight only possible at Koraput or Vishakapatnam. Thanks for sharing.

Apu these are very much dual cab locos. Just that one side has one grille and the other has two. You just can't see the rear cab of the trailing loco due to the camera angle. Having a single cab would defeat the purpose of having a vestibule door :-)

Are these single cab locos? The two locos have different styles of grills.

One of the best DC motor Locos that IR never had in large enough numbers. Its wonderful to see these giants doing their duties so gracefully. I suppose these were the last locos to employ thyristor chopper technology.

Are you sure? What about WAG 6B? Do they have Bo-Bo? Any pictures of the suspension?

WAG-6As always had "half" doors in the front. It is good to see these locos still doing their duties.
