Whether or not they had a RFW was contingent on how the trains were assembled in the yard. Both cars at the C/R position had to be transverse cabs but after that it could be anything. In the very beginning, on both the R-68s and 68As transverse cabs were kept on both operating ends so that a M/M/I could ride in the cab with the M/M for instructional purposes. |
