Short video of ancient diesel

The controls of this locomotive sure bring back memories. I think it is a Fairbanks H switcher.

Amongst the old cab controls:

The “U” shaped throttle (forward ‘down’, reverse ‘up’, no “reverser”)

The 6BL automatic brake valve

The levers for sand and bell

And a 5-person crew!

Based on the same person’s other train vid it appears to be the museum at Portola.
