The red marker on 122 is neat - the Pine Tree logo on the MC box is AWESOME!!

The RF&P GP40's were set up for bi-directional operation - with control stands on both sides, and a horn on the rear of the unit connected to the horn valve on the "fireman's" side. So, the engineer is operating the engine from the correct side. They also did not have dynamic brakes, surprising for a railroad with three significant grades in 110 miles.
