ACL GP-7's

greenspun.com : LUSENET : ACL and SAL Railroads Historical Society : One Thread

Have a friend "kitbashing" an O Scale Red Caboose GP9 into an ACL GP7. Two questions:

1. Were ACL's Geep 7's dual control?

2. What color was the cab interior painted?

I have a question as to what dual control means here. I see the front & rear ATC shoes on some units but am wondering what dual control means here? Thanks
