These videos from the cabs are much more interesting when going through the industrial areas :!:
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

That sure looked like a bouncy ride. I didn't realize there was so much motion in the wide cab units (I thought they were insulated from some of the motion the older cabs weren't isolated from).

Some widecabs have a rubber insulator that blocks out some of the noise, but I don't think that does anything for the motion.

Compared to what I'm used to, that wasn't bad.

Take a ride down on C&M once in the cab.... oh man.

The standing spot in the cab of 7014 is more like the "dance around in a circle to keep yourself from falling over" spot.
