Yeah ... Just like on steam locos, and high hood diesel locos, or diesels running long hood forward ... You really needed a conductor on the Left hand seat to tell the engineer what was up ahead.
I can still remember the sound of the loud meshing gear whine on GG1's and PRR M54 MU cars

I too felt a little boxed in too with the limited visibility. I'd be a nervous wreck trying to drive something like that!
What you think of the trackwork! All those switches, signals, and junctions all over the place. And the catenery wire overhead is amazing.
That's cool, Cascade. I vaguely remember seeing GG1s running along the New Jersey flats when we'd travel to Pemberton to visit my grand parents during the late 1960s. The old MP54s are one of my favorite EMUs.
I feel like everything else made today, there's little imagination in the looks even with the so-called new designs. There really is no personality to the equipment like that from this period. Both the GG1s and the MP54s lasted quite late into the 1980s. This is also a testament to the quality too of the equipment right from the beginning. Could you imagine something from Bombardier lasting that long?

what's a normal map?
more like very early 1980s on both counts.
