L P	General	I look at this backhead, and wondering was it designed to be run by just the engineer. The fireman's side is very simple, and even the water glass is on the engineers side, and I do not even see a boiler pressure gauge that the fireman can see easily.	10/25/2013 9:26:25 AM

Chuck Zeiler	General	I'm no expert, but I do know this was a United States Railroad Administration (USRA) design, and one of the goals was the conservation of materials during World War I. A total of 255 USRA 0-6-0's were built during the USRA administration, and dozens of copies were ordered after that. I'm pretty sure that the Brotherhoods would have insisted on a fireman to fire this locomotive.	10/25/2013 10:39:25 AM
