Howdy,
On another forum, we're trying to figure out what wide-cab-equipped locomotive is closest to an Austrailian-Prototype. And, the topic of the first widecab locomotive came into the dicussion.
I knew Canada developed the Canadian Saftey Cab...but i was also under the impression, and the railroad papers i have back this up, that Canada was the first country to use widecab locomotives.
However, another member said that UP was the first, with their 6900-series Centennial locomotives. I'd like to know what the first Canadian locomotive to have a widecab/saftey cab installed was, what year it was, and what type of locomotive it was.
Thanks all,
AR
