Posted by SelkirkTMO on Sat May 17 19:01:26 2008, in response to Re: Question about cineston controller, posted by RonInBayside on Sat May 17 18:48:09 2008.  Cineston controller:Courtesy of "Chicago-l.org" ... This view of of car 41's motorcab at the Illinois Railway Museum shows a fuller view of the layout of a PCC single-car's cab. In the front center is the Cineston controller, which controlled the motive power and electric brakes by moving the handle from one side to another through power and brake points. It's equipped with a deadman's feature, which puts the car into "brake" if it's released, so don't forget to hold it down! Above the Cineston in the window is the run number box. The seat is swiveled so that the motorman could operate the train, and then turn around to operate the individual door controls in the rear of his cab or use the farebox in the rear window of his cab if he were operating a one-man run.
