and its related subsystems. Originally the short hood of the locomotive was the same height, which is referred to as a ''high-nose'' or ''high short hood.'' Starting in the mid to late 1950s, the height of the short hood was reduced to increase visibility, creating a ''low-nose'' or ''low short hood'' locomotive. Some locomotives that were originally built with a high nose were later modified to have a low nose. Lately it has become common to make the short hood not only lower but also full-width, creating a wider nose which is usually referred to as a ''North American Safety Cab'' or
Canadian comfort cab
A comfort cab is a design found on most modern North America, North American Diesel locomotive, diesel locomotives, and some export models. The broad nose occupies the entire width of the locomotive, and typically has an access door on the front ...

The visibility and access advantages mean that the hood unit is overwhelmingly the most popular style of locomotive in North America, as well as many other regions.

Although the crew cabin is centered on some hood units (particularly in the case of dual, relatively small
prime movers), in most cases the cab is closer to one end of the locomotive than the other (in the case of a single, relatively large prime mover), breaking the locomotive up into ''
