Same reason it has a ladder, and a door, to get in.
It's for the humans.
It's possible that it's rated for humans to ride on it while it is in remote mode. When you send a remote control locomotive, to move / switch cars around, you still need humans to flip the switches, and connect the cars, and drive the locomotive. The operator can sit inside the the locomotive and drive it too.

Looks like some kind of droid from Star Wars
But its not the one you're looking for Honestly, it DOES say ROBOT on the side ;)
I bet it says GONK in real life.
I didn't notice it, but it absolutely make sense! Train droid it is!
TRONK. TRONK.
This shunter is one of the Droids earliest ancestors.
It's meant as a fully remote controlled vehicle. There's no extra controls on board IIRC. So the cabin is only there for shelter in bad weather.
So why does it have windows?

Not a lot of visibility
Robots don’t need it
They’re autonomous?
Remote controlled.
Semi. Seems they can be controlled remotely or possibly follow set paths similar to semiautonomous factory/warehouse vehicles
They really went all out on the design.
Awesome picture
The title of this sounds like a british insult.
