| Here is a front view of the cab forward 4-8-8-4 articulated Consolidation built by Baldwin in 1928. It appears to be a photo taken just after delivery to the Sacramento shops. Although the crews initially complained about concerns that if they hit a gasoline truck at a grade crossing they would be right on top of it when it exploded. Fortunately, in 46 years of running Cab Forwards, this never happened. This was partially because of the unobstructed view from the cab. The advantage in visibility was tremendous.
