The cab of the Czech steam locomotive. The Hesston Steam Museum. Hesston Indianna USA.
This is a view that normally only the crew members get to see and experience firsthand. This is the locomotive cab, of a Czechloslovakian meter guage steam locomotive. Imediately on the boiler backhead is the water "Sight Guage", wich indicates how much water is "IN", or needs to be added during operation. On the left side of the boiler is a small shovel. This is for the small "Coal Bunker" located just in front of the locomotive cab. I personally can "Not" name all the valves and guages and just exactly what they do, but I am sure that there is proboubly some Individual with steam operating or working industrial boiler experience out there viewing My blog site. This is a photograph for people who are either Mechanically Inclined, or for people who enjoy the "Nuts and Bolts" part of keeping machinery running.
