Summary

Description

Here is some information on the cab in which the simulator sits:

This cab is a General Electric U33C Diesel Cab (fondly called U-Boats by the engineers who drove them). U33C diesels were bought by the Delaware and Hudson (D&H) Railway around 1970 and operated from Montreal southward into the U.S.A. Our cab replicates the cab of D&H #757 which operated from Albany to New York State. It was housed in the Binghamton NY roundhouse when it burnt down, that is why it was scraped - it was burnt to a crisp, and then rebuilt, but it never worked right again. Our actual simulator cab is made of five different locomotives, and the only part that's actually out of 757 is the control stand, the rest is of four different cabs. The diesel cab has been re-built using real interior and exterior parts from scrapped U33C locomotives like the D&H #757. The construction of the cab was mostly complete but required that we design a platform upon which it could be mounted as there were no diesel trucks for it. It sits on a pair of speeder axles, which allows us to jack up the Cab and move it along our tracks when necessary.

As to the train within the simulation, it is a SD-40.
