yea I've seen that parked on, I have a whole bunch of pictures of little joe on my comp, but I am really currious as to how this thing sounded, or how the cockpit looked like

Well, it was an electric, not much sound. You felt it, you didn't hear it.

Best regards, Michael Sol

Electrics can sometimes be suprizingly loud for...umm.. for electrics.

The "other " Little Joe" is a few miles from its birthplace at North East PA, at a former LS&MS/NYC depot there,operated ( and very well,by the way) by the Lake Shore Chapter NRHS. They also have a former NYC U25B on display, with other "goodies". It also is a safe place to watch CSX and NS roll by without the nagging fear of being hassled. (D'oh! The Little Joe is CSS&SB 803.)

The CSS&SB crews referred to them as 800 engines and not Little Joes.

There three Little Joes preserved[:D]. The Milwaukee unit in Deer Lodge,and CSS&SB Joes in the museum near North East PA,and at the IRM in Union IL[:)]!
The Little Joe at IRM is operable,as I recently saw a video of IRM and in one shot the Little Joe is running past the camera[8D]!

Here is an interesting picture:

this is a cockpit of a similar electric locomotive as little joe, the cockpit seems to be almost the same as in typical diesel cab locomotives.
I assume this cockpit was used in all GE cab units, diesel or electric.

This must be how the cockpit of little joe looks like too

And here is the actual diagram of "little joe" cab. Posted by a member of train-sim forum

It is sort of close to the MILW Little Joes but it is not entirely accurate in the location of many of the controls. I would say it may be from a GE locomotive but not one of the MILW or CSS&SB units.
