WCM 6. It was built in 1996 by CLW, to RDSO's specifications. These were used for light freight duties, especially on the Kalyan-Karjat section. Only two of these were built (#20187, #20188), perhaps because CR preferred the WCAM-3 instead. They have high-adhesion bogies similar to those on the WAG-7(To be discussed later). Often coupled with WCG-2 locos. Speed control by three series-parallel motor combinations and weak field operation. Air brakes for loco, vacuum train brakes. They had a top speed of 105 kmph. Only two were built. Sorry for the hazy picture!
