The other day I wandering thru the Steamtown yard and looked at CNR 47, a Suburban 4-6-4T. It has a wide firebox. Not out to the clearance limit like a proper Camelback but the grate area is clearly wider than the boiler. Did these engines burn anthracite as a smoke abatement measure? If so, did CNR import US anthracite for them? Electric City Trolley Museum Association |
