All the newer Amtrak engines appear to have moved the crews closer to the front of the cab. They also have a design with an upward slope toward cab on the nose. This gives the appearance that it would be fairly easy for something like a semi trailer to ride up the nose in an accident and say hello to the crew or worse. What if anything is under the body to help protect the crew?
Given how many unsafe crossings there are for freight and Amtrak (read: on the cheap) perhaps snow plow flat should be attached in front of cab?
