[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 783428, member: 10543"] I'm thinking that highway grade crossing protection is the primary reason. Disadvantages are reduced visibility for the crew. The N&W preferred long hood forward too. NS no longer recognizes the long hood end as the front, as confirmed by the little F by the nose of the 1111. Modern locomotives are far better engineered to survive damage and protect the crew. Fun Fact: The 1111 is called the "Barcode Unit" by fans. ;) (A good shot of it has eluded my viewfinder; this shot is the only one I have of it.) [ATTACH=CONFIG]374879._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
