Hello. I might have asked a simplified version of this in the past, but i have a few questions about the conversion program.
1. Is it correct that the MP72c/75c units originally converted were control coaches?
2. If so, was there ever any thoughts given to using the existing MU control stands/positions as cabs for push-pull operations, ala Consitituion Liners and Boise Budds?
3. Why were the windows for the vestibules completely sheetmetaled over? Occams razor says cost, but wouldn't it be cheaper to paint them over ala P54s, or otherwise retain the window frame?
