This is the second WCM6 in the series and the sole surviving one.The first WCM6#20187 was christened as "Karamvir" and had caught fire in an accident and hence was scrapped. Siddhartha Fondekar.

Kharad check out the shed name on the bottom left hand side of the loco - it says Bhusaval so I guess this has been transferred but it retains its class called WCM 6.

Are both the WCM-6s at BSL now? As per the last time I heard about the WCM-6 from sources, one of them was still doing departmental duties in Mumbai area.
