AAR control stand on an EMD DDA40X; Other EMD models are similar. A control stand is a diesel-electric locomotive subsystem which integrates engine functional controls and brake functional controls, [1] whereby all functional controls are "at hand" (within reach of the locomotive engineer from their customary seating position, facing forward at all times). [2]
Dual control stand the practice of having two control stands (a "control stand" is a diesel locomotive subsystem which integrates all engine and brake functional controls within the operational radius of the locomotive engineer's left forearm from his/her customary seating position, facing forward at all times) in the cab of a hood unit ...

A BNSF Railway A unit A diesel locomotive (or more rarely an electric locomotive) equipped with a driving cab and a control system to control other locomotives in a multiple unit, and therefore able to be the lead unit in a consist of several locomotives controlled from a single position [9] ACe A nickname for EMD's SD70ACe locomotive [10] [11]
Locomotives could be built with the engineer’s control stand installed for either the long hood, or the short hood designated as the front. Two control stands for either direction running was also an option, but one end would still be designated as the front for maintenance purposes.
These locomotives are easily identified due to their full-length fuel tank, disappearance of the battery box cabinet, and a rectangular windshield on the engineer's side of the cab. Internally, the locomotive's standard control stand was now replaced with a short desktop control stand. Production spanned from August 1990 to September 1991.
In 2010, volunteers restored 92's control stand so that it could control other locomotives via MU. The locomotive was moved to National Railway Equipment in Silvis, IL during July 2017, where a replacement 20-645E3 engine, AR10 alternator, and a WBO air compressor (all purchased by the museum) were installed. This made the locomotive fully ...
