After seeing a few pictures of GECX 2015, I was wondering, what is that boxy 'hump' on the locomotive?

Here is a picture for everyone to see.

So the engine section is now taller than the rest of the carbody. The lower roof with rounded contour over the engine in the previous models of the Evolution series was the last remnant of GE's U-boat carbody shape.
