The stance of the Loco is wonderful,only if DLW is considerate to equip further additions and also theadditions to the WDG 4 Class,twin Cabs

beautifull....all i could think od after seeing the WDP4 for first time was "ewwwwwwwwwwwwww" and still "ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"....it still looks ugly.....ewww ewww ewww ewww..sorry the pic is nice but the loco isint ...

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

There is a snap that shows the long hood view from the driver's position in the cab, somewhere in the photo archives. There is also a copy on the Stormcatcher site on the IRFCA server. Also your earlier query as to the length of the safety railing is answered here.

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.

Just wondering, to what extent might the view of driver be obstructed? Of course, while hauling a rake LHF - Sandeep Bhate.

Just wondering, to what extent might the view of driver be obstructed? - 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.
