Description
Among Indian Railways’ rarest broad-gauge diesel locomotives, the WDM-6 had an unusual design and a story that extended far beyond its original purpose. Built in very limited numbers, it served quietly for decades across local passenger and shunting duties before fading from the tracks.
What made it different, why was production so limited, and where is it today?
Watch the full documentary to discover its remarkable journey.
