Spotted it at BWN outer towards ASN. Not sure what purpose it serves. But what I have noticed it is some hybrid kind of thing, can run both by electric and diesel. At the time of the snap it was running with diesel and it's panto was lowered.
May be I shouldn't comment on it, but how would be the idea if IR considers to manufacture hybrid locos like this one?

Probably it's a line inspection car. That's why it can run on both power. And these cars are very less powerful, barely 500hp, not more than that. Manufacturing a highly powerful hybrid loco would be expensive.
