They were dangerous inside the cab, too.

Like that horn mount. A RR man deserves to lose his hearing before he is 40.

I remember seeing those a few times after Family Lines and Chessie System got together but I never saw one in the lead. In the last days, I think CSX painted the windows over and used them like B units.

They were built for local service after the demise of the caboose.
Supposedly had a fridge and hot plate and room for 4.

Chances are that it went back to the conductors' cab agreement. Some specified the type of trucks (stabilizer) that had to be supplied. 

Or, it was a trade-in like Southern Alco TMs and trucks for EMD GP35s riding on same.

Like climbing in the back of a semi-truck. Bob, Ted, Carol, and Alice style.
