Alan Fricker	General	Gary-that crease is the slope sheet of the coal bunker. The slope sheet made it easier for coal to fall closer to the fireman to shovel or into the stoker, if the engine was so equipped. The water tank would have been behind and below the coal bunker. Hope this helps.	4/3/2013 11:24:03 AM
