[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Isambard What was the purpose of the "Doghouse" found on top of some steam locomotive tenders of railroads such as the Missouri Pacific and the Frisco? Obviously it was to house a crew member, or it appears two in some cases. When was the Doghouse used? [/quote] Isambard [:)] Welcome to the forums. [;)] The doghouse did indeed house the brakeman. In the steam engines there just wasn't room for a third crew member so the doghouse was used to protect them from the weather.
