SD40-2 Cab Overview - Interior and Controls

Climb into the cab of a Canadian Pacific EMD SD40-2. The crew was friendly enough to let me take a quick look inside of the locomotive. This train was stopped due to a malfunctioning hotbox detector and a broken air line in the train. The conductor was walking the train and I asked him if I could quickly view inside of the cab, luckily he was quite outgoing. Now I have seen this locomotive for real from the cab and it's a lot better than MSTS! LRF Video Productions

When you ask to come in and they say no, what do they do after that?

I have never had the say no to me but if they did I would say thanks anyways and I would head away from the train and take more pictures then wave and go.

I don't think they normally mind but it's against railroad rules to allow anybody other than employees into the cab so they say don't give out any info about the crew or train so that it's impossible to find out who gave the cabride.

[murjax]

You're lucky.
