Larry, 

Since at least some of the Q SDs had dual controls (IIRC), then either side could be operated by the engineer depending on which way the unit was facing, correct?

Larry,

On new locomotives, some railroads applied them to both sides, while others applied them only on the engineer's side. Remember, at the time, the guy on the left side was a fireman and / or a head brakeman, not a conductor.

I am sure that all weather cab windows were developed because of a need, particularly on northern RRs. Many crews open the standard cab windows to get a better view of ground activities, both fore and aft during switching moves. In really cold weather, the open window chilled the cab considerably and many cab heaters weren't all that great. The all weather cab window assemblies provide an extended view without opening the cab to the outdoor weather. It is / was helpful in rain, too. Some, roads, BN for instance, specified all weather cab windows on road units as well as switching locomotives.

Well doesn't that just get your goat.. sorry I had to,

But on a serious note, How did they determine what units to put all weather windows on? Were they just used on one side of a unit, or both on some, or one side or the other?
