Thanks for sharing this rare view of the unit at the end of its career. (There is one other view on the database only a few weeks later showing it in the shop at Nelson.)
I suspect the control stand used to have a cover over the throttle and transition levers. Here is a link to an operating manual for a similar unit: http://gelwood.railfan.net/manual/cp20-om.pdf

An amazing photo, Doug. I've been in many cabs just like this one and I never tire of seeing another. The bridge is stunning and, of importance to me, the green "section" flags rolled up and on the dash ready for display make this photo complete !

I love the cabs on the cab units. I like how they look like cockpits!

CP 4105 - estimated winds zero niner zero at three zero - gusts four seven - runway one three left - clear to land. Wild shot, Doug!

Now there's a piece of history - thanks for sharing!
