Ok, so in all of my years of railfanning I have noticed this, but never knew what the method to the madness is. On GE locomotives (and I presume some EMDs) sometimes the door into the cab from the front porch is on the Engineers side and sometimes on the Firemans. I know the window is an option the railroad can choose to have or not have. Is the door the same way? For example, see the two BNSF ES44DCs below:
