The Rouses Point yard engine was almost always a "steamer." Even in the summer, the sleeping cars on 9 and 10 needed steam heat. The steam generator was usually kept fired up at low heat in the winter to prevent freezing and to have it available on short notice. You have seen a few instances where Dick was called as an emergency engineer to take a unit, usually the RO yard engine, to Montreal to replace a unit crippled at The Glen. The steam generator was the fireman's responsibility whenever the steam generator was fired up and the locomotive was operating. Otherwise the hostler handled that.

Re: Dick Cooper Time Book - 1969
Rick, Yes, the D&H did put the "Passenger Protection" engines to use at the yards in Whitehall as well as Rouses Point and/or Plattsburg. I suspect the shop forces made sure the steam generator was operable. Ed

Did the passenger protect engine also double as the yard engine? ?If so, I assume the fireman was also responsible for monitoring the steam generator to make sure it was ready in case needed. Rick Shivik On Sep 2, 2024, at 8:01?AM, Ed Cox via groups.io <edcox13@...> wrote:

Re: WTB: Oriental Models Standard Version C-628 in HO painted for the D&H
Rick It has exterior radiator shutter hinges which were only on the D&H's 601-609. The 610-618 had interior shutter hinges. I already have enough of the earlier units. Ed
