I believe FRA Rule 223, which requires bullet - proof window glazing in all occupied engines, passenger cars, and cabeese, has been the law of the land for many years now. It is the reason so many cabeese were turned into "coffin cars ", with most or all side windows welded over. Same thing with the oval side windows on GE's & later EMD switchers. Of course, it's still a bit unnerving to be shot at, protection notwithstanding.
