You're right re KROMER....Not only engine crews but all "real" railroaders  
of 40 or more years ago...including officials had one...
 
There was a story in TRAINS awhile back about "Stormy" Kromer and his  
invention of the headpiece that today bears his name.
 
Also, in the days when it was worth your job to be caught outside without  
your hat on..pre JFK most officers carried an abbreviated version of what would 
 
have been called ear muffs.
They were an "ear shaped" band lined with Alpaca or some such material  
connected on each end by an elastic strap.  When it got really cold  and you 
didn't 
have your KROMER with you you could snap these around your head,  thus 
covering your ears and still wear your required fedora.
