How is the red marker on?

It cant be the Loco pilot jumping off. I think hes a loco inspector getting off. ( Did he have a diary or bag in hand ? ) or than it could be the assistant LP getting off to get some tea. Did the train stop at the station and did that guy get back in ?

I am also surprised. Instead of switching red marker on the rear end, he has mistakenly switched on the front side of the loco. On the rear end there were no red markers on.

Zubin, I think you might be right. He had a diary in his hand. He jumped of the loco when it slowed down to 10kph & he vanished from there. I have seen this incident for the first time. I have also seen 2 loco pilots at the same time in WCAM1 hauling the Kutch Express.
