Within the memory of living man (me!) NOTHING on the railroad had radios or speedometers. You ran by your orders or timetable and measured speed by counting mileposts against the turnip you wore as a watch. And every watch on the railroad was within seconds of each other! The watch examiner saw to that.

Hard to believe by today's standards and regulations, but I seem to recall that the former DL&W MU Cars were NOT radio equipped.

Your correct, but you think that's bad, How about this. They didn't have speedometers!
