The tender booster exhaust was behind the coal bunker. To see some neat shots of one in action, check out "Lehigh & New England", by John Krause and available from RMC [sorry, Trains] In that book there is a sequence of shots with an LNE 2-10-0 hauling coal up a twisting, steep hill with his booster cut in. With a speed of about 7mph, you can almost hear the roar almost 60 years after the fact. <br /> <br />BTW, no less an important foobar than Leonor F. Loree [PRR;D&H] was a business partner in marketing and producing boosters; later they sold out to Bethlehem, who made them to the end of steam. <br /> <br />Also BTW, the LNE's decs were knock-offs of WM's, which were the largest as built. But with the Wooten fire box and tender boosters, the LNE decs were the heaviest in the World.
