There's one I don't remember at Steamtown over there!

I don't remember this either at Steamtown. How did they charge it with steam? I recall seeing another one of these "fireless cookers" at Potomac Edison.

Also noticed the two cylinder exhausts in front. No need for a stack that exhausted both fire gasses/smoke and the exhaust steam that provided additional draft,for the fire on regular steam locomotives,,
