Vinnie, > A group of the SDs, 3621 to 3653 I think, purchased under Dereco were > equipped for dual control. These units were ordered under Dereco (in fact, the N&W held the leases for these units). Additionally, there were a group of U33C's purchased under Dereco (3307-3315) that also had dual control stands, and could also be seen running long-hood forward (personal opinion here: I liked the "look" of the GE's running long hood forward moreso than the EMD's) Theoretically, you could have seen other, non-dual-control-stand-equipped units running long hood forward, but that wouldn't be too good on the poor engineer's lower back, sitting trying to look backwards... - Paul The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List Sponsored by the ELH&TS http://www.elhts.org ------------------------------
