on southern pacific, they built some of their own articulated steamers, and because they put out so much smoke and the rr had (has) alot of long tunnels, they designed the "cab forward" design, where the cab is in front of the boiler, this provided a cooler ride in the summer, and the engineer and fireman to actually breathe without inhaling lots of smoke in the tunnels.
