"Just a rivit counter here, but it is not a battery box below the cab, it is the air brake
equipment access door. Battery boxes are not located directly below the cab to keep battery
gases from entering the cab area."
Thanks for the correction Joe,
I should have checked out an equipment drawing first; the walkway box with louvers behind the enginedrivers position would be the actual Battery box on that model. Our NZR U26C's had the battery bank below the Dynamic Brake grids/fan behind the electrical cabinet.
