Re: [CBQ] Re: Flat smokebox fronts for 0-4 Mikados or USRA 2-10-2s?

["Charlie Vlk" <cvlk@comcast.net>]

The USRA 2-8-2s and 2-10-2s (and for that matter the 0-6-0s and 0-8-0s) 
retained their "USRA" Smoke Box Fronts and Doors.
The Q design locomotives did indeed have "Flat" Smoke Box Fronts which were a 
Burlington Route characteristic, although other railroads used this design 
which may be a Baldwin standard.
The 4960 got a "USRA"-ish Smoke Box Front  during its rebuild on the Grand 
Canyon Railroad, making it very ordinary looking.   If it weren't for the Q 
"sports" cab and the awfull ATSF Oil Tender you could mistake the loco for a 
USRA Mikado.
