Remarks & Notes 
The Sri Lanka Railways M6 is a class of 16 Diesel-electric locomotives imported to Sri Lanka in 1979. They were manufactured by Thyssen-Henschel in Kassel, West Germany, under licence from Electro-Motive Division of the United States. The sister locomotive of #792 (# 793) has been destroyed by a bomb blast on March 25, 1986. At that time, the civil war in Sri Lanka was still going on. I personally find these locomotives quite ugly !
