IRCON YDM4 6000 Series Locomotive
The IRCON YDM4 6000 Series locomotive is the staple of the Royal Railway, operating on freight and passenger routes throughout the Kingdom. The 10 leased locomotives currently in operation in Cambodia formerly operated in Malaysia for KTM Berhad, leased from Indian Railways and built by Diesel Locomotive Works in Varanasi, India. The YDM4 locomotives kept the Indian Railways locomotive classification system and numbers on lease in Malaysia and in Cambodia where Y stood for metre gauge, D for diesel and M for mixed loads.
The IRCON YDM4 6000 Series locomotives ceased operations for KTM Berhad since early 2016, and 10 of them were sent to Cambodia from Malaysia in May 2019. Click here for more information about the YDM4 in Malaysia.
