Is this a high node Alco C628? SP had Alco C628, but those were all low nodes. Never need on that looked like this before. Anyone know the advantage to this configuration?

Yes, a high hood Alco C628. These were ex-N&W locos and high hoods were standard practice at the time for them. Many were set-up to run long hood forward as well, primarily for crew safety in an accident.
