Thank you @Hot Water 👍 Since your post yesterday I have been searching all my Union Pacific books. You are 100% correct! I don't know how I missed that part. Even the photos I took when the E9's accompanying the 3985 through Cajon Pass on May 24th 1994 showed they have snow shields on top of the winterization hatches. I'm not sure which member of the 1994 UP Steam Crew was in the 949's engineer seat that day.

Thank you for the heads up!

That person may not be from the Steam Crew, as the E Units are controlled by the Engineer of the 3985, by way of the Diesel MU Control Box (via MU electrical connections & jumper cables through the main tender and auxiliary water tenders). Thus there is no need for an "Engineer" in the trailing E Units (nor any other MU'ed diesel units). Maybe it is a member of the RR Pilot Crew, enjoying a quiet ride out of the cab of 3985.
