Cab unit information


Three body styles of diesel locomotive: cab unit (front), hood unit, and flat-nose (rear). These locomotives are operated by Pacific National in Australia.

In North American railroad terminology, a cab unit is a railroad locomotive with its own cab and controls.

"Carbody unit" is a related term, which may be either a cabless booster unit controlled from a linked cab unit, or a cab unit that contains its own controls.
