Nice silhouette.

Loco without the headlight? Or is it placed in front of smoke box?

Beautiful...this is probably one of the few pictures that shows WP with boxpok driving wheels. The other pictures show regular solid spoke wheels or mix of both types.
Would have loved to see WP's unique leading wheels.

Is it poor wheel balancing lob on the second leading wheel in this image?

Unmistakably, a WDM-1 from the Diesel Loco Shed, Waltair.

In those days,Ferozpur Bombay Punjab Mail was numbered 5 Down-6Up. Albeit its schedule and number differed then, no doubt this is the same Punjab Mail of today.
