E-paw's EOY challenge.

The cab location on a camelback had nothign to do with visibility and everything to do with clearances over that HUGE firebox. If the cab were perched up there like on a 'normal' loco, it owuld exceed all clearances in palce at the time they were built. As cars got larger and clearances were increased, there were back-cab Wooten firebox locos built - look how the cab is just sitting up there on this P7sa 4-4-2:
