What’s the story of the single windowed cab cars? I’ve wondered this for quite some time…

Hunter, all the original bilevel cab cars were equipped with a small cab for just the engineer on one side of the car, as shown on 235.

Starting with car 242, they were delivered with a more modern “full” cab to allow two or more crewmembers to ride up front, hence the other window. Older cars were retrofitting with this (and the second window) as they were refurbished.
