ample, the Diesel engines are started by pressing a button an theengiaeer's
panel. All operations are controlled by a single handle while tb4 train is in
notion. The engineer is able to regulate simultaneously the operation of the
Diesel engines, the generators, and the traction motors, by turning this handle.
