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.

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.

Yes, I was around 10m away and I think the driver had no clue.
Actually, I was surprised to see it LHF

WDP4 runing LHF is not at all uncommon Raghu. It's almost as common as a WDM2 running LHF.

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