Dual control stands, nifty.

I knew some engines have that, but I've never actually seen inside the cab of an engine with dual control stands.

If that picture is recent I will bet it is not a wreck but a -3 upgrade.

I would agree, and, not that this is absolute proof, there's no obvious wreck damage to the handrails, pilot, body, or frame that I can find

Yep, NS is rebuilding a bunch of stuff, sometimes to slugs.

It sure is interesting seeing it all naked up there like that though.
