I am surprised that this beast is still called as a WCM. Kudos to BSL for giving it a new life.

No matter, there is a mistake! But there is a history!

Good to see him work on his own, which was never the case previously.

Brilliant Capture Aadil, Thank you for sharing this pic. Even if WCM-6 is still written on the Locomotive, one can easily observe the words "Fit to work under 25kV AC OHE" on the Locomotive, further a quick glance at the Pantograph & the protective devices on the roof of the Locomotive convey to one the Overhead Traction Voltage.

Anamitra, they are re-built to WAM4 specs. Have look at: http://www.irfca.org/gallery/Locos/Sheds_Workshops/BSLShed/
