These systems all pre-date FRA when the Interstate Commerce Comission also had safety regulatory authority. In earlier days it was common to change locomotives when a train went from one railraod to another so interoperability was not a major concern.

Your observation about antenna farms on the roof is interesting in light of some Volpe researchers advocating the installation of emergency escape roof hatches in locomotives.
