California State Railroad Museum - III

Yesterday, we saw the outside of the 4294 and today we see in the inside of the cab. This steam engine runs on oil. the engineer sits on the left and the fireman sit on the right. the knobs on the right are used by the fireman to control the boiler flame and keep things moving. The firebox is where you see the orange light low and in the center.
