(erielack) Alco RS-2 Equipment



List:

I recently noticed, for the first time, that Erie RS-2s used in and
around the New York / New Jersey commuter areas had some sort of
equipment located outside and behind the fireman's side of the
locomotive. What was this for? 

Additionally, I see the front engineer's windshield and fireman's rear
windshield were of a considerably larger in surface area when compared
to an RS-3.  Any clues as to why the difference?

Page 64 of Willam Brennan's "Trackside in the EL NJ Commuter Zone"
clearly shows these two items.
