Any word on new Locomotive orders coming down the pike? How many, what manufacture, etc...

That overhead LED cab light turns red in emergency.. very cool. And has the emergency light reset switch now like the latest 88/89xx's... front handrails closer to the centre like the CP EVO's.. easier to climb up. New speedo heads.. more interior lights like the CP's too. And only one red marker light now.. like all the Dash 9 retrofits.
Damn, I should have taken some pics!
All those LED lights.. reduces the number of light bulbs for me to change. But the most important light in the whole unit is still incandescent - the one in the toilet!!

That annoying window always popping up was a pain in the you-know-where... and always disappearing when you wanted to use it!! Finally, it's gone..
