Abstract This report presents an analysis of the line haul freight engineer's working and living environment, the resultant locomotive cab design and design alternatives. The analysis is based on a delineation of functional requirements found in current line haul operations together with those additional requirements which could arise during the next 10-15 years. The recommended design is the result of a detailed human factors engineering analysis of these requirements according to state-of-the-art criteria and system design practices. Substantial engineering analysis was devoted to the recommended design; this included disciplines of cost, occupant protection, component and subsystem reliability, and system safety analysis.
