CN 2428 |
Description: |
The GE version of the Draper Taper. I find it really unusual that both GE and EMD would incorporate this into their designs. You would think that one or the other would have some kind of license to the Draper concept (featuring the taper behind the cab to provide better rear-views for the crew). It gets special mention in my "A Field Guide to Trains" by Gerald Foster. |
