Why am I watching this? I don't even own a P42... Have you noticed the "Boeing-brown" color on the dashboard? Anyway, I'm going to continue watch this in order to get my Nerd-O-meter to 100. Thanks for uploading.

I GOT TO WORK WITH THE VERY FIRST OF THESE GE STREAM LINERS, THE 800 BEFORE IT WAS PLACED IN SERVICE IN THE 1990s! IT CAME THROUGH AT&SF ARGENTINE YARDS ON ITS WAY TO THE PUEBLO DOT TEST CENTER! IT CAME IN DIT ( DEAD IN TOW) WITH A FREIGHT TRAIN OUT OF CHICAGO! IT WAS CUT OFF TO BE PUT ON ANOTHER FREIGHT HEADED TO COLORADO. I WAS CALLED TO LOOK AT IT BECAUSE WHEN SET IN THE SIDING THE SWITCHMAN COULDN’T FIND THE HAND BRAKE! THE CAB AND THE ENGINE ROOM WAS LOCKED , AND I FOUND THE HAND BRAKE TO SECURE IT ON THE SIDING! IT WAS THE FIRST ELECTRIC OPERATING HAND BRAKE I SAW! WHEN THE LOCOMOTIVE WAS SET ON ITS NEXT FREIGHT I RELEASED THE HAND BRAKE, THEN PULLED THE BATTERY SWITCH! WHEN THE ENGINE CAME BACK EAST TO ERIE SOMEONE SET THE HAND BRAKE AND THEN WAS UNABLE TO RELEASE THE HAND BRAKE BECAUSE THE BATTERY SWITCH WAS LEFT CLOSED AND THE DRUG 3” FLAT SPOTS ON ONE PAIR OF WHEELS!! UNFORTUNATELY THIS HAPPENED ON MY DAY OFF AND I MISSED THE MISTAKE!! BUT I THOUGHT THESE UNITS WERE GREAT, AND I STILL DO!! KEEP THEM ROLLING BROTHERS!! 👍👍

Always wondered what the spottier button was for 20:25 ,and Train Compartment Lights, next to Tracktion motor switches is?, 33:15 but that's GE for you. ( Customized design relatively low production numbers and million of dollars each ) They do not get everything perfect, first model runs etc.
