This is the view from the driver’s seat in the cab of Santa Fe Locomotive 93 on display at the Great Plains Transportation Museum in Wichita, Kansas.
This diesel electric locomotive was built in 1967 by by General Motors Electro-Motive Division (EMD) and was donated to the museum in 1999.
The museum is raising funds to give Number 93 a badly-needed paint job. You can learn more about Santa Fe 93 here: http://www.gptm.us/html/santafe93.htm

When I think railroad museum, this is what comes to mind, not 1967 Electrics! I was here in 86, it appears to really have been improved. Great photos on your part.

The interesting thing is really how many EMD locomotives from 1967 or earlier are still in use... compared to, say, General Electric GARBAGE :) The typical lease term for a locomotive is 15 years, and GE figured out how to make locomotives that lasted 15 years and about a day, while GM built locomotives that lasted for eternity.
Incidentally, that's an AAR-standard (Assoc. of American Railroads) control stand. And you won't be going anywhere without inserting the reverser lever into the keyhole-shaped opening at the bottom :)
