Dash9-Dash8 MIXUP!!!!

[wabash1]

the ns did not have the dash 8 as long hood forward. it was a short nose forward. but the ns will run these long hood out. I am not sure where the cut is on long hood front of engine I do know that all the sd70s all dash 8 and 9s are short hood forward. also those unforgettable and now gone c36-7 was long hood forward. so the crew breathed all that soot in. the only thing good about a dash 7 was.......well let me think about it maybe i can come up with something.

The Field Guide To Modern Locomotives shows NS C39-8's # 8633 & 8634 with the long hood designated front . Do they have dual control stands ?? I've only seen an NS SD40-2 set up that way.

Conrail has Dash 8s in wide-body cabs, NS has Dash 8s in standard cab, as well as alot of C-39-8s in standard cab. A very easy distinction on the Conrail Dash 8s is the engine numbers on the front are located on the wide cab nose, not above of the windows where they are on all other Dash 8s.
