@Krupa - The reason I believe is that the TTE in each coach also acts as a brakeman and all five apply/release brakes for their coach manually. This act of waving the green simultaneously is to signal that their job is done and the train can proceed.

Wonderful sight!!! BTW, what is the reason behind waving five green flags, perhaps from each coach?
