What was this one used for that it would need caged windshields?

This is the Di 3 a diesel-electric locomotives built by NOHAB for the Norwegian State Railways (NSB). The maximum speed is 105 kilometres per hour (65 mph) for the a-series and 143 kilometres per hour (89 miles per hour) for the b-series. So quite fast locomotive. Because these were used in the Scandinavia mountains and forests I would say in the winter ... anti-snow, anti-ice, anti-stone etc and anti-moose in the summer because of the elks wandering around the rails.
As memo serves later the locomotive type had the additional armoured glass attached instead.
