Here is page five of a 22-page booklet published by the Pennsylvania Railroad entitled "Modern Power For Today's Trains: 1949." It was issued originally during July of 1949. Caption: "Inside a Diesel-Electric Locomotive Cab." Although not identified as such, this looks to me like the engineman's side of a locomotive built by GM-EMD. |
