Great stuff, thanks for sharing!
My father was a brakeman/fireman/engineer on the NYCRR. He retired when they retired the steam engines.

Yeah, that's one "stove" I'd love a chance to shovel coal into. Even if only for a short ride in the cab.
But from what William describe of all the know-how that is involved in the where, when, and how to put the coal in the firebox, I pretty sure I'd be fired as fireman in record time !
