Excitement, Short Lived
When Union Pacific took delivery of its first GE "comfort cab" C40-8W locomotive (UP 9356) in December 1989, I was waiting with excitement to see one in person. That opportunity presented itself on March 24, 1990 when two month old UP 9367 sat idling in Provo Yard. Little did I (or anyone else) know at the time, GE would continue to utilize this same cab design for decades, with thousands upon thousands of new locomotives wearing the same angular face.
