One final view as CPR 349 rolls off into history. Not so fast. You got this era started and are well on your way to doing the first photo below. But how about the second photo?   |

^ Thanks for posting those great old time photos. I do have a couple of other pieces to make up a very short train at this point:  |

This loco has some interesting features: There's a clerestory on the cab roof. The lead truck has outside bearings. There looks to be a well-used sheet metal covering on the pilot. The counterweight on the main driver is overlaid on the spokes--can't tell about the rear driver. And the two photos show something I hadn't thought about before. The sides of the cab don't go far enough down for an engineer (and fireman) to have forward facing "chairs" like in late steamers--there's no place below the cab for legs. I assume there must have been a bench there, instead. And either the "sitter" sat sideways or with his legs horizontal out in front of him. I found a picture of the inside of the cab of a 4-4-0:  Over on the left, you can see the sitting-platform for the fireman. Painted black. Ed |
