Internal view of the brakeman's cabin showing the remains of the brake operating mechanism. If complete it would have a wheel similar to a ships wheel which connected to the brake via a rack and pinion and a long rod which went up through a hole in the roof. More of this mechanism can be seen in the V4 Drumhouse.
