The railway board's chart says that this loco is under condemnation.

Major undamaged parts (if any) might have been already taken away by BNDM ELS staff.

The chassis looks fine to me. As long as the frame on which the superstructure sits is not bent or twisted, the loco shed should be able to get the loco running after building a new rear cab. The loco can be easily lifted and placed on a flat bed wagon as its not below a bridge or culvert. Decommissioning of a loco is a very long process as the Railway Board should consider it 'beyond repair' before the shed can even decommission the loco. The KJM loco at Sribagilu station was yet to be decommissioned when I last inquired about its status in August 2009. Its been lying below a bridge on the Subramanya ghat section since 2007.

Do you mean that the loco was scrapped by saying that,' it was written off'. Its not that easy to scrap a locomotive since an order should be given by the Railway Board after looking at all aspects of why it cannot be retrieved. Its a long process and takes considerable time. By looking at the position in which it is lying it looks as if it can be easily be put on tracks (if it is the loco you are talking about).
Also can you tell me what happened to the crew. By looking at the accident I feel the the crew have escaped with a few injuries since I have seen similar accidents involving WDG-4's in the past and the crew had managed to escape unhurt.
