Talking of improving driver visibility, how about removing those damn grills, from every single one of our locos, and investing in higher grade glass that is not susceptible to breakage?

I don't know how much difference the little extra width is going to make, but yeah all little innovations are good to see.

Nice sequence. Cannot speak for these particular markings, but some locos have these manufactured with reflective material.

Those are not just grab handles that you see, they are locators for curve ended ladders!

Good move by DLW to improve forward vision to the locomotives, although the older windscreen look more balanced (IMHO).

Painting Them would be a More Permanent Solution. Though Stickers Give you computer aided accuracy.

@Anamitra , I did not find any cctv in LHF. Regarding LHF driving, this loco has better visibility than WDG4. The LPs are not that much uncomfortable in driving WDG4/WDP4 LHF mode. In fact few driver takes LHF as their life saver in some past unfortunate incident.
