the dials didnt do a lot for me. I had trouble concentrating on them
Except for the speedometer, I couldn’t read the others, either, though I’m sure the two gauges to the left are air brake pressures, usually the engine and train brakes. If you look closely to the far right side, you can see a bit of the speed controls; note the words “Cab signals...”, “Maximum authorized speed” and “Time to Penalty.” They were disabled for this test but if they had been installed and working they would have alerted him that his speed was incorrect and if he ignored it, would have set the brakes automatically.
