In steam locomotive pictures you will frequently see the push pole slung alongside the tender just under the tank. They are usually round poles, slightly tapered at both ends and bound by metal bands every few feet (if the poles were built by the railroad for that purpose) <br /> <br /> Also, many pictures of diesels will show the push pockets into the 70's, 80's or even later. After that period they started eliminating them during rebuilds.
