Now that the rebuilt PATCO trains have full-width cabs, is it possible for rail fans to see thru the cab to enjoy the view out the front. I remember how we used to sit at the front window on the right side opposite the train operator. Guess that's gone forever along with a lot of other good things in rail fanning.

It's not as nice as being plastered up against the RFW like the old days, but I'll take it.
