This locomotive had a number of improvments made to it about that time to better compete with Diesels.

Looks like the front of the cab wall is not attached the the boiler . Odd looking . The scenery is much like the west in the 50's and earlier , with great pacing opportunities .

I think that's an illusion created by some light-colored plumbing. Watch it in high quality if you can.
