Date: 02/03/09 16:59 New Door Design/Layout = New Control-stand Layout? Author: espeeboy As well as being reversed the nose-door appears to be both be thicker (as in safer, beefier, crashworthy) as well as now have beefier hinges.
Hmmm, so I wonder if the control stand in these new GE's has been changed meaning taking up less space than the older style layout? ~~~ Date: 02/03/09 17:21 Re: New Door Design/Layout = New Control-stand Layout? Author: CCMF BNSF SD70MAC's also come with nose doors on either side depending on the order.

Date: 02/03/09 17:46 Re: New Door Design/Layout = New Control-stand Layout? Author: rehunn It used to be that the door was to the left to clear the remote
radio gear but that's all changed so I would presume it's because the loo, john, head, toilet is now on the Conductor's side where it belongs!!
