This is a lot of 2 books used by the Norfolk Southern in their training program for Locomotive Engineers:
* Locomotive Engineer Training Handbook (October 1992)
* Locomotive Engineer Training Operating Rules Workbook (January 1993)

The Handbook measures 8.375' x 10.75', and contains 264 pages. The Workbook measures 8.5' x 11', and contains 66 pages.

In both books, all pages are crisp, clean, tightly bound to the spine, and have no writing or dog ears.

The Handbook includes specifications, cab numbers, and operating equipment make-up for the following locomotives: GP38 AC, GP38-2, GP40, GP40X, GP50, GP49X, GP59, SD35, SD40, SD40-2, SD-50, SD-60, U-23-B, B23-7, B-30-7A, D8-32B, C-30-7, U-30-B, U-30-C, C-36-7, and C-39-8.

The Handbook focuses on learning the various systems needed by the Engineer to operate a locomotive.

The workbook tests knowledge on many operating rules.

Condition of both is Like New. Both are unused, but have slight soiling on the covers.

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' (generally, within the operational radius of the locomotive engineer's left forearm from his/her customary seating position, facing forward at all times).^[2]

Normally, a control stand is oriented in the direction labeled 'F' (front of the locomotive). Although front is usually the 'short hood,' a seldom-used alternate designates the 'long hood' as front. Where operations in both directions are required, two control stands ('dual control stands') may be provided.^[3]

The early control stands were designed to Association of American Railroads (AAR) standards. The traditional AAR control stand is still preferred by some railroads. Current control stands may employ multiple displays and electronic actuation of operational controls from an all-electronic desktop.^[4][5][6]
