Can any American railfans assist a Brit? I've a book which includes a picture of Dale Creek Bridge on the Union Pacific taken c1870. This is being crossed by a double-headed passenger train. The train engine is numbered 766 which looks to be a 4-4-0. It is odd, however, in that it has a cab where one would be expected, behind the firebox. That firebox appears to be fairly lengthy, but in front of it , and over the boiler, and behind the dome, there appears to be another cab. Can anyone explain the operation of this loco? I have tried a google, but couldn't find anything.
