I think one interesting thing with the cab layout is going to be the build date
for the SW1200. The first batch of Q SW1200's (9271-9280) was delivered in late
1955. As shown in my January 1954 SW1200 operator' s manual, the first SW1200's
had the round "barrel" style control stand. The second batch (9281-9282) was
delivered in mid-1965. As shown in my 2nd Edition SW1200 operator's manual
dated February 1965, by this time I EMD had already switched over to the more
modern AAR control stand. This was different from the full height AAR Control
Stand in that the brake equipment was in its own stand, and the throttle module
was actually in a control stand box that was mounted on a steel pedestal. But
the throttle quadrant itself is basically the same one EMD uses today.
