- Speaking of long end forward. For the last few years, it seems that
- most of the BN yard switchers (i.e. only one hood, like an SW1200) have
- been mated to a second yard switcher, hood to hood. This gives the crew
- a cab at each end of the set with absloutely no hood.
- I have see the Soo Line copy this idea, but they have not adopted it
- accross the bord like the BN.
