NS Geep rebuild experts????

 

Doesn't look that stubby to me.  Looks like the cab hasn't budged.

The GP59E rebuilds appear to be getting admiral cabs, whereas the GP38-3s got the standard stock EMD style cabs.  There may be some new rules regarding crashworthiness on certain classifications of rebuilds, but I'm not sure. 

Here's a picture I found of fresh GP59E rebuild 4650 with the admiral cab:

 

 

Here's a good comparison of a standard EMD-style GP40-2 with new RP-4EC slug with Admiral cab:

Altoonaworks.info has all the info you'd want as reference.

 The Admiral cab like pictured above,has a more squared off nose with larger rest room facilities.

 

The rebuilt SD's  being rebuilt such as the 6900's, have a redesigned shorter walk way on both front and back,and a totally different "wide body" design like I've never seen.

 

 The older Southern 3200's that are being rebuilt have a new cab that looks like an older short hood 6100 SD cab,but with central HVAC and a larger restroom .

 

 I'll try to get some pics. on in the next day or so of the interiors of each.

Anthony, the top picture looks like the nose on 4650 is stubby compared to the one on 745 in the lower picture. Not sure but I guess it could be an optical illusion.
