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.

Yup AC Pantos on this dude indicate a better life for him i hope than what he had in and around Mumbai area. Sid, does this fellow still retain its previous class of WCM6, & KYN as its home shed?? or has it been transferred to BSL??

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.

Akshay, I think one WCM-6 is stabled at LNL Trip Shed.

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.
