Re: [QLD] 2800 Locos

For better utilization of the fleet. The 2800's are slow to load (compared
to a Clyde), and the 3000HP output of the 2800's is a handful on such a
light train, especially the Inlander. AFAIK, all of the Maxi Cabbed 21** are
fitted with ATP. (2170F is one I know for sure) The control box is about the
same size as a small refridgerator and is behind the second drivers seat.
Without a Maxi Cab, it is very crowded for the second driver and all of the
standard cab Clydes with ATP have a small cut out in the front door where a
footrest has been placed.
