Subtle about capabilities of their locos, aren't they? A Bhillai WAM4 21207 6P+DB+HS waiting at Pf No.7. The loco may have been a transfer from Tatanagar but has retained Tatanagar's famous Humanoid. Nagpur, 2002. By Alok Patel.
True. But I think IR should become less stringent about standards and should keep a bare minimum standard for such work while allowing sheds and zones some freedom in designing the rest of the schemes. This way, IR gets what it wants and so does...

This does not seem to follow any of these. Was this a trial or prototype of the 6P+DB+HS version WAM 4? The Humanoid symbol still exist on some WAM 4's of AJJ, transferred from Tata
