[quote]QUOTE: 2. For crash survivability, many engineers wanted all that iron in front them, not behind. Witness the insistence of some railroads up until recently to order road diesels with the cab in the rear [/quote] That was one of the things that I could never understand.... Why would the engineers run their diesels long hood forward......why why why..... And as you said it turned out to be because of safety reasons, it makes sense to me. Apparently there were a lot of RTEs complaining when the newer diesels started arriving that could really only be operated in the one direction with the cab up front.
