Someone correct me if I'm wrong but max speed for LHF running is reduced to 90kmph.

WDP4 runing LHF is not at all uncommon Raghu. It's almost as common as a WDM2 running LHF.

Yes, I was around 10m away and I think the driver had no clue.
Actually, I was surprised to see it LHF

Precisely, just wondering how much area must this blind spot be covering and how much lesser view will the driver have as compared to the view from a normal WDM, both with LHF - Sandeep Bhate.

Interesting perspective - I guess Ragu must have been standing some 10 m away from the loco, and none of the driver view ports are visible. Talk about "blind spot". Like they have in the trucks - if you cannot see my mirrors, I cannot see you.
