Numberboards high and low
Author: kgmontreal

I've never been a fan of the nose-mounted numberboards on the CP GE's. The high-mounted CN ones look much better to my eye. Fortunately, newer CPR GEVO's have the high-mounted style.

The newer CP units have the high mounted boards with LED bulbs, which a lot of crews find distracting at night. The light shines directly onto the nose and creates a bit of a glare effect.

Which is why the top of the nose should be painted flat black, including the angled sides.
