Why should the engineers or other crew members have the option or even a say in the matter? Frankly, the front cabs are notoriously the "hiding place" where crews distract the engineers with conversation, etc. All of the reasons given for full width cabs are pure nonsense. In addition, I recently was advised that the FRA has suggested to SEPTA that they retain the half-width cabs to eliminate this ongoing and dangerous situation.Further, SEPTA has come out publicly {in the Philadelphia Inquirer} and announced that the cabs will be half-width. Luther Diggs is directly quoted as saying that it would elimitate too many seats and that SEPTA found no really good reason to do it. For once, I applaud SEPTA for taking a stand and doing the right thing. |
