But then yesterday, when your first link above was posted on RPN, in its paragraph #2, it did indeed state that the locomotive would be converted to cab forward to be patterned after current Amtrak locomotives, just as I had speculated on the previous page of this thread.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span> </p> <p><span><span><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">However, now that statement has been removed from the above first link. <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Wh<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">y did they change their mind?</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"></span><o:p></o:p></span></em></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></p> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">J<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">u</span></span><span style="font-size: small;">st to clarify, the link yesterday did not say specifically that the AT&SF locomotive would be made cab forward. It was not clear on that point. It suggested that cab forward was part of the intended pattern for production versions of the new locomotive, but was not clear as to whether or not cab forward would be part of the prototype made from the Topeka locomotive. </span></span></span></p> </p>
