Here is my latest thread, a poll about "cabs" from the revolutionary low nose cabs to Southern's famous high-hoods, I'm covering cabs any engineer would know cabs make a huge difference in overall work performance. From my experience at the railroad museum, its not easy switching in an F-7:hehe: ! LOL

I'm not talking about taxis. I'm talking about the operating area of a train. You know where the engineer or "driver" operates the train.
Cheers.
 
Either Hi hoods, Switcher cabs, or RS series. I can say with some confidence though that I hate fat heads. They just look dumb.
 
Center cabs!

Or steeple cabs if you like that term better. Old RS units, industrial switcher, Krokodiles or the Japanese low hood locomotives. I just love the way they look.

:cool:Claude
 
JANUARY 21st 2009... I will now count the votes for the first time and will post later the First General Count. You may still vote until February 1st 2009. Starting February 1st will be one or two new polls, I will continue this trend as long as people vote. Personally I get alot of fun out of this so please cast a vote or write one in. The list provides a majority easier than write-ins, but why should I have all the fun? Go ahead and write-in as you please, just mind the subject. I look forward to your write-ins!
CHEERS.

Well quite frankly I'm not talking about him. "Checker Cabs" are not related to trains at all. As for "Hansom" cabs, I really don't know what that is, if you could explain I would be greatful! If it is a train cab I'll count it. No offense Mr.Fisher!
