Do these type of locomotives have 2 throttles, one for each engine, or is the throttle integrated into a single one operating both engines?

Single throttle - the idea of distributed power had yet to be thought of.  Outside of the Engineers hands on the throttle and the sanders, the wheel slip control was nonexistent.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
