does anyone have a photo of a dash 9 cab, (Don't say we already have one) showing the control panel facing the long end?

RE: cab photos
You won't find a dash9 with the control stand facing the long hood.They were designed to have the short end as the front.Not even the NS has them this way and they are known to run locos with the long end designated as the front.I know I work for them.

CN's Dash 9's have controls on the left side like the GP38's and GP9's. On SD50 and 60 and GE Dash 8-40 CM's have desktop controls. CN switched back to normal controls because crews said it was easier to to reverse movements on the GP 38 style controls because they could just turn their chairs around and face the other way.
