The bogies look strange. Doesn't all WAG6 a/b/c series have Bo-Bo-Bo bogies? This one looks like Co-Co. And 4 sanders per bogie. Why?

Certainly it would have been a great picture if Giridhar was fortunate enough to position himself. Nevertheless, a good shot of Mued WAG-6Cs having a Co-Co bogie arrangement. As for the sanders, if I remember the two middle ones serve two wheels whereas the two extreme ones serve one wheel each. Jimmy, did you notice how closely WAG-6C bogie is related to WAG-7 and WDG-2/3 series? Did RDSO use this bogie design?

I think only the 6A/6B have Bo-Bo-Bo arrangement. The 6C has a Co-Co arrangement.

Dear all,
Sorry for late reply, just logged in now. Didn't have enough time to position myself for proper framing, and to check the wheel alignment or the exact loco class specified
