Details

An official image showing the cab of one of the vehicles (975007 or 975008) of the ultrasonic test train circa March 1971.

The extra raised seat in the centre of the cab was for the logger who would use the keyboard on the console to note the sighting of lineside mileposts which would record then on the film produced by the ultrasonic test gear. A third seat, out of view, was fro the train captain.

Note the traditional Yellow Diamond 'cowhorn' throttle and the matching early style gear controlled has been replaced by the later style controls used on Blue Square vehicles.
