Louis: Your story about the firebox brings one to mind. I grew up in Naperville a block and a half from the triple track mainline. A spur that Leo Phillipp pointed out to me was originally for limestone quarries in Naperville came a half a block from my house. My grandfather was living with us and he would take me to see the way freight steamer (an R-5A) that backed with cars (no longer for quarry material or for a brewery but lumber and coal) down that spur and then came back to the neighborhood store two houses closer to the spur than ours. The crew got out and bought food from the store and had lunch. One time the crew asked my grandfather if I wanted to come up to the cab. Of course I did. I was not used to the inside of the cab and marveled at all the knobs and gauges. Someone asked, “Do you want to see the fire?” I nodded excitedly (I was about five years old). The butterfly doors opened and I felt as though I were looking into the jaws of hell; I had never seen a fire that stunningly bright and intense and large. In fright I backed up to the tender and the crew (and my grandfather) laughed. To me that fire was not hot as hell, it was a glimpse of hell itself!
