Hi

click here to enlarge

is the only access to the cab the engineer-side door ?
Or is there also a door on the conductor-side, which leads onto the gangway ?
Is it possible to open the side windows from outside ?
Are only the windscreens bulletproof, or are all windows bulletproof ?
How did the (injured) crew escape, when the engine lies on the engineer-side side!?!

Cheers,
Andre :)

I'd suspect there are doors on the rear of the cab both sides, like some of the CN SD40's I see running around.

There are doors on both sides, although it looks like it might be a tight squeeze to get past that blower duct.

Examples:
