WE 6316 has a couple of interesting features.  Contributor's Pick!       
What looks like a cotter pin next to the bell mount and what looks like a stack pipe in front of the windows. Any thoughts?

CSX FAN General That seems to be a handrail up top. The stack pipe is one of the firecracker antenna. You will notice those on NS engines. Nice pic showing all the detail btw. 6/25/2013 3:56:13 PM
Fred Stuckmann General Thank you. I appreciate the insight. 6/25/2013 3:59:35 PM
Jim Ford General What's the padlock for up under the number board? 6/25/2013 7:51:10 PM
Fred Stuckmann General Locks the door, thanks. 6/25/2013 8:11:46 PM
Alan Fricker General I don't know how you do it Fred, but you always seem to find the details everyone else misses. 6/25/2013 8:40:43 PM
Bernie Feltman General I'm not sure the pipe has anything to do with an antenna function. It could house air and/or electrical lines for the bell, class lights, numberboards or any combination thereof 6/26/2013 11:01:53 AM
Mark Hornacek General A cab air vent? Would not think anything important is below an open tube. 6/26/2013 9:55:23 PM
