Unit 100 of the White Pass and Yukon backs down to the docks from the shops in Skagway. These units have some rear visibility issues!

Good Lord that's narrow guage and then some! ^^^ He said it best. Is this a modified E or F unit or something?

~classictrains Aug 13, 2008

Nope... pure GE.

I think I'd be more concerned with the precarious footing resulting from running full-width equipment on 36" gauge tracks than having a good rear view!

You don't see full-on rear shots of the White Pass' "90 Class" units very often. Nice pic!

Actually it's not as unbalanced as you might think. Read Hoyt's

Why in USA so many locos have only one cabine? Aren't any problems with maneuvers on the station?
In Europe every diesel or electric - as I remember - have two cabines...

~classictrains Jun 22, 2008

Very few USA locomotives go to stations like there are in Europe. Passenger service is pitiful. Those that do have often have control cabs in the last car of the train.

~classictrains Jun 22, 2008

Also you will see a lot of US trains have 2 units coupled back-to-back so they have a cab facing each way.
