Thanks a lot Siddharth for this rare pic. Is this used only for shunting or for long / short haul also?

What is the part sticking out of the roof, parallel to the exhaust stack? A YDM4 does not have this, so it seems to be unique to a WDM6.

Nice one. Seems MU'ing was possible with this loco class, but now its been sealed.

@Vijay sir: It is used only for shunting and departmental duties, sir...

@Apurva sir: Sir, I also don't have the answer to your question. But indeed, you are right, that a YDM-4 or a YDM-4A don't have it..
