Hi JB,
The frames on the S-2's and ST-2's were made up from channel iron, that's probably why the railroad just bought a motor. The two front levers are the timer and throttle and the lever with the hand lock is for the sliding base, that is how they would tighten the belt and make the motorcar move.
Here is a QHB motor, I sent an e-mail to you with Fairmont motor identification information.
