Locotrol RCS

A Union Pacific coal train from Las Vegas arrives in Milford, Utah for a crew change on March 18, 1979. The antenna atop the cab is a giveaway that SD45 No. 14 is equipped with a Radio Control System (RCS) called Locotrol. 18 odd numbered SD45s were equipped as Radio Control Masters and 19 even numbered as Radio Control Remotes. UP installed RCS on a DD35A and DD35 pair as well. Info from UtahRails.net
