Found this motor at a Museum in Thomasville, it was a small county museum. It was loose near an exhibit about how the railroads affected the area in the late 1800's, curator knew nothing about it. It looks like a Marx motor, but there are some details which seem off to me. Any help?

The upper right panel is the on/off switch for the reverse unit.

thanks for the correction.  i was concentrating more on whether i ever remembered seeing a rod attached to the control  lever through the backhead.  it sounds logical, but somehow i still can't picture it.  i'm currently on the road, so all i have for reference are my old photos.

here is a truly manual Marx reversing motor out of a swing peg CV...
