Questions! Questions! That big front porch on the leading ends of the long mallets was for relayers. The boiler was so long, the engineer or fireman couldn't see around the front to see signals or the road ahead. Relayers would camp out front and relay signals back to the cab as to conditions ahead. At night, they used lanterns. In foul weather, fussees were not unknown. Anything else I can help with, don't hesitate to ask. :ol :o) 8o0
