- Not sure where the Division point was. May have been McCook for west of there since engines were changed there. The visible features for a lignite burner are the extended smokebox and a small yellow

- No, Lignite burners had a overhanging look since the smokebox was extended. The extension was the entire smokebox, whereas coffin FWH form an arch when installed and look more like a huge eyebrow. Th
