I call it Railroad gimmicks like some examples: the CSX Spongebob Cabs or UP 4842 with it's sharp angled cab, who looks like a pre series to SD70M-2. NS Admiral Cabs and Ex- Santa Fe / BNSF GP60M are also mention. Then Triclops, Four Window Caps, Cowl Units, Tunnel motors, different trucks, flared radiators... Just a lot to see!
