N&W Caboose 518021

[NW Mailing List]

I believe that the sealed windows were done to a number of the early cabs. They originally had windows that could be opened, but I suspect that the amount of coal dust and soot coming in was hard on the crews. I recall seeing a drawing to change out windows on the CG class dated sometime in late 1964 or 1965.

Really curious to say the least... when I first noticed them in a photo I had to do a good bit of checking only to find that there were several that received this treatment.
