Where does the OHE section end? No WAG6's?

Yes, where is the OHE? Maybe, in places where explosive materials are handled, electrics stop at a distance and after that, the shunting diesels take over. eg, in Cochin Refinery, Electrics stop about a km before the filling yard

The OHE section ends at Ore Yard which is about 2 kms from Tippler yard. The WDS-6s from VPT haul the iron ore wagons from Ore Yard to the Tippler yard.

The two "flatcars" are to prevent the loco from enter the tippler machine when pushing the last wagon into it.

Whoaa! Gr8 pic. I have been waiting for quite sometime to take a picture of this from the overbridge that comes in quite handy to observe the ritual. But I guess, you stole my thunder.
