BNSF has two center-cupola wide vision "cabeese" at Albuquerque (one Santa Fe and one C&S - C&S 10661) that are still accessible and the cupola windows on both are still intact (more or less; the Santa Fe cab has heavy screens instead of glass, probably thanks to the same graffiti "artists" who've "decorated" both hacks), and both still have stoves and their "firecracker" radio antennas as well (the radios are obviously long gone, thoguh, and probably so too are the antenna cables). The C&S hack is in the best shape of the two (about the only obvious damage is the graffiti) and is regularly used on both the daily manifest that runs between here and Belen and on the local turns that service the various customers in and around Albuquerque; by comparison, the Santa Fe caboose is practically derelict and has been parked (for several months) at the south end of the main yard near a company that makes concrete railroad bridge sections.
