On the ceiling of the cab, you can see one of the rearview mirrors (on the lower right, partly cropped, the ventilation control (I think), on the far right, and the pantograph control on the upper left (for raising and lowering the pantograph). The pantograph control looks like a bell control, but it isn't, of course. The bell is controlled by a pushbutton on the control desk.

One odd feature of Tatra trams is that they have an accelerator and brake pedal like a bus, instead of the traditional rail vehicle controls of a throttle and a few brake levers. Because 5525 is a training tram, however, the instructor gets his/her own brake pedal, seen on the right. The right seat is also a trainer-only feature, as a standard T3 only has the driver's seat in the cab.

This was my technically better shot, showing that 5525 is a fully rebuilt T3 with a digital speedometer.

After taking the front shot, I shot this through the driver's side window, getting a surprisingly artistic shot for a cameraphone, I think. Seeing what I was doing, the instructor unexpectedly invited me into the tram to get a (technically) better shot, but I kept this one anyway.

This was my one and only time in the cab of ex-LNER 4472 "Flying Scotsman," when they were letting people up into it at the Doncaster 150 Celebrations. I did have to wait on line for a good long while, though, and the photo I had somebody take of me in it didn't come out, unfortunately. This latest upload is a rescan of an older shot.

This was taken at the 1998 National Railway Historical Society (NRHS) National Convention, although not in Syracuse, where the convention was based. Rather, I took this in Thendara, NY, at that time the northern end of the Adirondack Scenic Railroad, after having worked (as a Trainman) on the first public passenger train (at least to NRHS members from around the country) to run from Utica to Thendara since 1981. The locomotive (this one, as well as ex-NYC #8223) had been run around, and I took this picture of the cab before reboarding for the trip back to Utica.

Here's a nice interior shot of the cab. This was one of my favorites from the East Lancs, as I really liked how the fire came out.
