The cab platform consists of an integral steel castingto insure ample strength for this character of service. parallel and full parallel. In addition, two reduced fieldsteps may be used with each motor arrangement, givinga total of nine free running sj>eeds. Two compressorsprovide a total of 200 cubic feet displacement at 130pounds pressure for the air brakes. Other accessories in-clude a motor-driven blower located in the end cab forventilating the traction motors, a bell and whistle mounted. Side Elevation of New York Central Railroad 170-Ton Freight Locomotives A master controller is provided at the engineers positionon each side of the cab, and the control and auxiliaryapparatus is installed in the sloping end cabs. The control is Type PCL, of)erating from a 32-voltstorage battery. The 32-volt supply, in addition tooperating all control circuits, is also used for cab lightingand for headlights. The type of control eliminates highvoltage from the master controller and employs electro-pneumatic contactors located in the end cabs for operat-ing- the main circuits. Remote control is used for all on the roof, and suitable equipment of air-operatedSanders. Road-Freight Locomotives The running gear for the freight locomotives is similarto two switching locomotives coupled by an articulatedjoint, and the motor and control equipment duplicatesthose used on the switchers.
