I'm not trying to invalidate anything. It's hardly the end of the world, but I think it's a shame, in more ways than one, to be losing access to the window at the very front of the train.The R-62 arrangement is better than on the other cars with transverse cabs, but the window is in an awkward location, and there's a coat hook above it, and the view through a single pane of glass is far superior. If cabs must be transverse, I don't see what's wrong with a full-size transparent window and a sliding curtain (lengthwise with respect to the car) to block glare. Or do it MFL-style, with access to door controls on both sides from a single narrow cab. |
