Reply to "Which legacy engine is best? Camelback or ten wheeler?"

I never understood if there was any benefit to the camel back design. My understanding was that there were accidents where drive rods or eccentric rods broke through the cab floor and killed crew members.  Did it make sense to have the crew separated? Where they hand fired?

Never saw that the New York Central used them. Did the Pennsylvania? What was the point?
