Front Mask

The front mask refers to the paneling around the lower front end of the train, typically below the windshield and above the pilot plow. It completes the train’s nose assembly and often carries headlights and coupler access panels. Like the cab mask, it is made from lightweight composite panels or sheet metal, shaped to fit the vehicle’s profile.
