The WCM 5 had a windscreen in the middle also. Usually it was painted over.

Vabby - the person showing the flag is the assistant, the driver is obviously at the controls of the loco :-)

Apurva the driver had the access to the window in the front cab so why did he had to come to the middle door to wave the flag looks silly to me

This is WCM 1 # 20068. Note the lack of door next to the driver in the leading cab - this door was in the middle of the loco !

This is the WCM 2 # 20176. A few years after this pic, the WCM 2 never hauled the Deccan Queen, that duty was always done by the WCM 1.

This is WCM 5 # 20101 - note the reversed number of Sahyadri (311 down/312 Up), while the Mahalaxmi that ran in those times was called the 303/304.
