Indeed, SGL is right on that one, I had an article that I could quote, bu
t
all my RR paper is packed for the move, and I remember the DEMOS all were
built with the L window. EMD thought it was a great idea but only SP orde
red
them in any subsequent numbers. EL replaced the window with the smaller o
ne
sortly after the trade due to damage (sideswipe??) of some kind.  It was
documented, now all I need to do is remember where I read it

Eeeh, I hate to bring this up, but I believe that 801,802, and 803 all ha
d
the L window >originally< when they were EMD demonstrators. The D&H was s
o
hard up for power that when they arrived on the property, they more-or-le
ss
(mostly less) ran the guys from EMD off the property and said "You can't
have them back, we need them, send us the bill!" After all, D&H was a
completely ALCo road, seein's'how ALCo was on their own line.

EMD was touting the L as a big safety improvement, so I'd bet that they w
ere
all the same at the >very< beginning.
