None of the VSKP WAG5's had buffers on them! Only the WAG6's as Vikas pointed out. There are no WAM4's to be found on this line.

Neil - as I've explained in my reply to an earlier query, the KK line refers to the 445 km long Kottavalsa-Kirandul iron ore carrying BG electrified single line running through the states or Andhra Pradesh & Orissa.
Sandeep - the standard length of trains on this line is 3 locos + 56 BOXN wagons + guard van. The length of the train is close to 900 mtrs.

The last loco was dead but this was the only time we spotted 4 locos in a consist (dead or alive!). All locos are WAG5's. The earlier WAG5's had identical shells as those of WAM4's - that of ventilator grills seperated by port holes. Later WAG5's had grills running along the length of the loco.
