@waynerc51 Not really a "worst paint scheme ever", so to speak. Some railroads like flashy paint. NW and southern railway had basic paint jobs on their locos. This meant low maintenance on appearance. Black appears to be cleaner over other colors, even when it is caked with road grime. My grandfather worked on the NW back in the 70's (brakeman), and he said that he prefered the black paint due to really low glare on bright days (just his opinion).

The main reason the long hood forward running was to have dual control stands in them and it minimized the turning around at certain points. It wasnt for crew protection. It was saving the rr money than to find a way to turn the locomotives around.

@e44e33 Hey I have a relitave that I meet once a year that worked for the Southern Ill ask him & fill ya in.

35 seconds=is that KEITH STONE??
-
high hood long nose forward because East Coast roads can't stop wrecking head on with each other
-
is that a RP-E6Y road slug coupled to the C630?
-
Long hood forward for added crew protection. High short hood so crews wouldn't have a reason to object to long hood being forward. ( ex N&W conductor)
-
@e44e33 N&W and Southern ran long hood forward, was for toilet space and such I beleive
-
@e44e33 I never worked for any railroad because I am only 16 but I know for a fact that they were used for crew safety. That is also the reason that they ran mostly LHF and also that is I think the reason that before that "Safety Cab" bull shit NS also ran LHF

@diazpepe i dont know man.. but they always seemed to run the backwards too

No, no, no! A C630 is shorter, all axles are the same distance from each other. The C628 is long because of the space for a steam generator.

C628 and C630 are the same length:
69'-6"

why southern and nw use high hoods?
diazpepe 3 years ago
I think it was for added crew protection. Need an exSR or exNW guy to fill us in.
