So I'll be the dummy and ask, can someone (@Steamer ?) explain what that ugly box is doing on top of those pretty ladies?  

Water tank.  A small amount of coal is carried in the cab.

These are shop goats used to move dead locomotives and/or tenders around the shop areas.  These locomotives are converted from tendered 0-6-0's.

Thanks Rusty, makes sense but I had to ask!

Heading off to Sunday to-do's, everyone have a great day...Rich
