Ponder the photo of an unrefurb 73TS cab Operator's desk shown below:  The CTBC is in 'Shutdown', no key in the Selector, yet the Speedometer shows 30mph. How? (I suspect the professionals on the forum will twig very quickly, so please give the other folks a shot before pouncing ;D) |

A total guess. A cab end in the middle of the train?

A total guess. A cab end in the middle of the train? And a good guess, as there were a number of double-bubble 73s. But not correct. I'll leave it a bit longer for the morning (UK) folks to try... |

the cab at the back of the train  That is why I always used to cover the speedo in the back cab of the WSR DMU...........until it was forbidden after I got done for speeding  (I was done by someone not known to me riding in the train with GPS). Anyway, I'm with Pat on this one....... |

Well done gentlemen - it was a shot from the rear cab. PGB deserves at least an honorable mention as he had the right idea, but I could not in true honesty credit him with the right answer.
I was puzzled when I first saw the photo as I wasn't aware a Speedo would read "in reverse" (thinking, naively, that it was a mechanical rather than electrical feed). My thanks for the explanation, and photo credit, to PP.
