Brian,
I’ve seen the non-skip strip shown on Mopac locomotive diagrams but none show dimensions. The diagrams just show don’t paint over the non-skid surface.
The Summer 2009 issue of “The Eagle” has a good top down view of a U30C non-skip strip nose, but a note is the locomotive has a EMD cab also.
However something you might find interesting is that the diagrams do show on EMD locomotives at the raised step on the fireman’s side the step is painted gray and the gray paint goes 6″ to both side (top and the bottom) of the step if that makes sense.
