   Back at the end of the 1960's, I got a ride around one of the "loops" in   
   GCT on one of these. I recall quite a bit of room in the cab, all the   
   electrical equipment was in the "noses".   
      
   And as a Harmon hostler in 1983, got to climb up on one of the last   
   examples at Harmon yard. May have even moved it a bit, can't remember!
