> Interesting photo.  The whistle was mounted on the steam dome, so exhausting steam is not the
whistle.
> Pop valves usually sent a straight up stream of steam (like a geyser).
> This looks like low-pressure, which is probably from the blow-off muffler/separator which was
mounted on the top
> center of boiler just behind the pop valves.  Blowoff was water & sludge from the mud ring. The
valve sent it up to the
> separator where centrifugal force separated the resulting steam from the sludge.  The steam
escaped up from the center
> and the sludge was driven around the sides and escaped down a large pipe on the fireman's side to
a discharge funnel just
> just behind the 4th driver and outside the rail.
