I'm A conductor for BNSF out of Los Angeles and our newer dash 9's are very comfortable. Inside they are as smooth riding and quite as A car ! They have great AC, heaters, and defrosters and have nice refrigerators. The toilets are big and well lit. The cabs have plush seats and big desks for your paperwork and good lighting and radios. I hate going long distance in the old SD's and geeps. They are very noisy, dirty and usually the ac doesn't work. the toilets are REALLY bad ! These units are way better for switching in the yards though because the controls are better placed and the traction motors load up quicker for going forward and backing up, and they have better visibility. All Bnsf engines have ac.
