I think someone though it was funny to switch the doors.
Here's the other door. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=225439
Wonder what happened to the original door?
This reminds me of some pictures I saw a while back of CSX locomotives with "CCSX" and "CSXX" on the sides. The same result of a door replacement.
That would make a great modeling project!
Been that way since at least December 26, 2006.

Recently, BNSF 4560 has been spotted with a nose door from what I guess would be a Conrail GE engine. Notice the letters AIL and ITY. Conrail never had Dash 9s on their roster. So the nose doors on the wide cab Dash 8s, 9s and maybe GEvos must be identical.
