   I can tell you for a fact that I've been dripped on in the St. Louis   
   gallery cars; I assumed the Pullmans were pretty much the same design.   
   I'll ask someone more knowledgeable.

   IC Highliners (gallery cars) had their full-across cabs on the main level.   
   The Nippon-Sharyo MU cars put two half cabs in the gallery, typical of   
   cab-control trailers since C&NW first ordered them in the early 1950's.   
      
   Or are you saying additional room is required for control equipment,   
   nothing to do with the cab?
