I got in the cab of 4014 some 50 years ago at Pomona Fairgrounds. Back then they just parked it and you could climb around on it. I remember climbing in the firebox. It was bigger than my bedroom and lined with brick as I recall. The auger would deliver coal to a table visible at the firebox door and the fireman would direct a jet of steam to blow the coal to the far corners of the firebox. I don't think one man could shovel and toss fast enough to keep it going the old fashion way.
