The Railways should try to provide such facilities in all locos. Especially, the coupler camera- it would ease the job of the shunter pilots, the water cooler in the loco, the hot plate, redesigned control stand, the side berth in the coach, ergonomic seats for loco pilots, clean driving cabs with A/C and fan and spot focus led lamps, lamps near the coupler and fuel gauge, in cab water level indicator etc.
All this would make the loco pilot wish that he remained in the loco longer than his duty hours demand. At least I would wish that if I were a loco pilot.

The concerned sheds and workshops have no doubt done a good job. But frankly, of what use are these beauty contests? Are the improvements showcased in these contests ever implemented in other locos & coaches? Forget about others. Are the facilities on these locos and coaches going to be maintained well? For example, for how long will the windscreen washer be functional? Will it be ensured that there is enough water in the reservoir at all times?

@ Akshay: I strongly believe this kind of competition amongst sheds is to bringout new ideas, concepts, and to encourage them to showcase their stuff. This raises the adrenaline rush amongst the sheds to look for new innovation to showcase in their contestants. Whether it is implemented or not in long run is not the question now... this is purely to raise a sense of game/competition amongst the sheds.

Poochi and Gang, Excellent eye for detail in capturing all the key components and innovations in the cabs. Felt like I attended the contest in person. Thanks!

For one moment I just felt, I am seeing some brand new locos with superb class facilities for the LPs. No wonder, the LPs would love to stay inside these locos more than their duty time. I only pray that all such cabs of WDM class locos undergo such revamp in the time to come.
