Why high-hood units?

The N&W, ordered low short nose units, with the control stand on what would be the firemans side. The long nose was the front of the unit. If they ran short nose to the front, the fireman or brakeman, appeared on the engineers side of the cab. Although no controls. Very difficult to do any switching, unless you had a portable radio. We had very few, when I worked the rails in the early 80's. BPtrainwreck
