Note the American style (?) single lamp signal in front of the locomotive. Never seen this before, any idea of the function and current status of this signal?

7789 was amongst a batch of 8 prototype locomotives built by Vulcan Foundry in 1955. Four went to Northern railway and were based at Firozpur and the other four went to Southern railway and were based at Shoranur. Thanks for appreciating!

Beauty...I think the loco maintenance standards used to be lot better back in olden days. I still have vivid memories of immaculate WPs with boxpok wheels & WGs at Kolhapur when steam was only used between Kolhapur & Miraj. My favorites WG (10097?)with Giesel Injector and 8076WG on Mahalaxmi express.

I wish I was born during the 1950s with a camera to capture these beasts in action.
