The FW&D-C&S SD-7(s) all had drop steps when delivered. I have photos from
the early 60's that show this feature.

Subject: [BRHSlist] Crossing between Q diesel locomotives
> Simple question (maybe):
>
> The diesel locomotives (not counting the F's and E's) ordered by the
> Q were somewhat unique in that they had no drop steps for walking
> between couple units. In fact, they actually had a solid bar across
> the center area of the front and rear handrails where a chain would
> usually be hanging to work in conjunction with the drop steps. This
> being the case, how could the train crew move between locomotives if
> they had a unit shut down enroute or some other problem? Were they
> required to stop the train and move between units on the ground?
> Interestingly, BN added the drop steps very quickly to all the ex-Q
> locomotives, but how did it work before then?
