Widenose cabs

[Lord Atmo]

was the cab standard or widenose?

as for the SD50, did they even make those as cowls? weird. oh well. i prefer hood units

[Gluefinger]

Many C40-8s, HR616s (had to throw that in!), SD50s, SD60s, and GP/SD40-2s were built as cowl units for CN (and CP had their SD40-2Fs)

[nanaimo73]

CN's cowls were 20 HR 616 from Bombardier, and then 60 SD50F and 64 SD60F from GMD. This was followed by 55 C40-8M, and 26 more acquired by BC Rail. CP Rail bought 25 SD40-2F.

The Clinton accident involved a wide nose.

I belive its more electrical stuff.

Uh no. The cab is for safety and crew comfort. There is no elctrical except headlight and control stand. Don't get to crazy Max. I know there are a couple over head lights in the cab but all the electrical is located in the cabinents behind the cab.
I don't think they look nice at all. They just look ugly.

yeah i figured there had to be some important reason that the cabs were changed. is there any reason why the SD70M-s and the SD70ACE have different styled noses? are there more posts in them or something?

WELL It's because in the earlyer SD70s and so on the door wasn't a full hight door.......so to be nice to crewman and to increase visability they changed the cabs......
