• The linked engineering drawing for several of the S-160s shows the maximum locomotive width as 8' 11-1/2". This compares to 8' 10" as delivered. However, several of the locomotives, including 556, had their cab widened by 18" at some point. I measured the 556 cab several years ago at 10' 2". The welds where strips of plate were added to each side of the front and back wall is noticeable when you look closely. I'm guessing that the drawing you have either predates the modification to the cab or the increase in width never got included in the records. 557 still has the unmodified cab. Cozy!
