Same reason most roads did, cab glare was high, cabs got hot, glass cost money to replace, steel didn't break. Look at the photos, you'll see a lot of newspapers taped over the upper windows!
Thank you sir! Florida RR Museum has a Seaboard RS3 that has those windows intact. I was not aware that other roads closed them off as well. Thanks again.
