Has SRC retained the livery on this loco? BTW, nice catch....so far there is only ONE other pic of this WAP-4 in the gallery.

It's a ballast regulating machine, for making the profile of ballast with help of slanted metal plates, which can be moved to required angle/ direction. The rail head is then cleared by rotating brushes. Useful after unloading ballast from ballast hoppers.

These are track relaying equipment. (PQRS portals). These can swivel to straddle the flat wagon and then move on auxiliary track, laid at a wider gauge, enveloping the track on which the flat wagon is standing.

This crane can travel on and off rails. It forms part of the paraphernalia of point and crossing relaying unit (T-28) and is used to collect/ move sleepers and heavy parts of the points/ crossings etc., for assembling the layout which is inserted in track by the T-28 portal cranes, in traffic block.

The arm does not terminate in a hoe actually. It ends in a straight metal (hollow) box type section to which chains are attached, with hooked ends. The arm simply loads/ unloads rails, sleepers etc., using these chains.
