Milwaukee Road Steeple Cab

105k RailfanEthan  8.0 years ago

Also known as ES1, the Steeple Cab was used on electric railroads, such as "traction" companies. They featured center (or close to centered) cabs, and had a slanted front giving it the nickname "Steeple Cabs." They were built by General Electrics and used in North America and Britain. The long nose provided minor crash injuries to train operators, and was a favorite on freight and interurban railroads. However, smaller room was provided for electrical equipment.

Controls: Trim is throttle. I AM EXPERIMENTING. DO NOT EXCEED HALFWAY. This simulates overspeeding motors. Brake is brake, VTOL moves pantographs, and 1 and 2 activate lights. Enjoy!
