On most of the engines it is written like WAP-7 GZB,on some WAP-4 MGS,WAP-4 CNB.Like that.most of the station names are perhaps location of DRM office.some exceptions to it are like CNB.

CNB, GZB, MGS, HWH, GMO etc are the places where these Locos are homed which means these locos are allocated to these places for checking, hauling trains, POH's, repairs etc. This doesn't have to b connected with DRM zones as most them don't have DRM's but are handled by the nearest HQ. :)
MGS n HWH are the oldest Loco holders in History.
When CLW n DLW were established, few places held steam n diesels. MGS has homed steam n HWH owned electrics, diesel. KGP holds mainly diesels since 1900's or so.
BNDM doesn't has a DRM but its controlled by Rourkela branch. Similarly for AJNI, GOC, and other places which are controlled by DRM's which are far. there is no rule tat only a place which has DRM should also hold locos.
