The Aberdeen, Carolina, & Western is a North Carolina short line that has some ex-Canadian wide nose cabs for power: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=417853
I don't think they have a number scheme, other than "economy" (which means use whatever number it had ) Harold
Dumb question but… Were these available from EMD as a stock wide cab, or was it a 1:1 kitbash, in other words, custom built by the rail roads. Did any of the major railroads (ie CSX, NS, Conrail) ever have any of these? Thanks
These cabs are insulated more then a standard cab. Thicker walls, window defroster, better heating system.
Jerry, are you sure you want to be driving one of these units on a mid-summer Alabama afternoon??? Those mods definitely are NOT needed down here.:shade:
You are SOOOOO right! The mechanical dept has been installing fans in all the ATN's locomotives lately, which will make a big difference.
