Hope that coffee doesn't spill on the controls!

As a formal guest of BCR, I have travelled from North Vancouver to Lillooet on this locomotive in the somewhat distant past.

Great cab shot of controls. I've wondered how those controls compared to the "older" units.
|
Very nice shot of the interior! I am curious as to why they have the need to have two radios in the cab though.

There is only one radio, but 2 headsets so the conductor doesn't have to reach over the brakeman's seat to grab one.

There is only one radio on the Engineer's side. There is another control head in BCOL units above the conductors desk that controls that one radio. Most all engines have 2 hand sets which is what I believe the other comment was referring too. BCOL engines allow the conductor access to changing the radio channel.
