I see these on prototypes and they're faithfully represented in sims - question is, what is their purpose?I'm not talking about the bar that gangs 2 wipers in unison; this one sits inside the cab just below the top frame of the glass. (See attached screenshot). Many thanks!

Nope, missed that one....it's a metallic strip that is fused between the layers of glass and has an electrical cable attached...it is used to heat the glass and keep it "defogged". They are used in the macs and the GE's. Good eye, though, not too many people notice that strip there.
Dan:They aren't wires like on the rear window of an automobile. There is only one element on loco windshields and it is about a half inch thick.PatchCrew UP Engineer
Bizzare...I can't say that I've ever seen defroster wires on a loco quite like that, but hey, if that's the way they are....Thanks PC.DanAbsolute power corrupts absolutely.
