We have Mariuta again today as the Reşiţa is out of service. Shame - that grew to be my favourite

I'm traveling in the relative luxury of the railcar cab today. Screw handbrake is green, forward/reverse lever is behind it, left foot on clutch pedal, accelerator is in his left hand by the wall, and the gearlever is sticking out from the wall, behind which is a diesel engine. Not sure what the knobbed lever is far right of the picture. Turn signals perhaps.
