Since the EMD BL1/BL2 models essentially had an "F" unit cab layout, why would there be a need for "dual controls"?

They had the dual controls so that when used on locals, ( they often ran backwards ), the engineer could change sides so he could be facing the signal on the right side. They only had three set up this way.

I do not think the Western Maryland BL2's were setup for dual controls
