Agreed. At night there would be at most one lamp lit and certainly the cupola was dark so crewmen could see the train ahead.
Also, Caboose heating stoves were either coal or kerosene fired. Kerosene stoves don't smoke unless faulty and coal only smokes heavily when adding coal. Some roads used Anthracite that doesn't smoke at all.
