Coal Stove on an Old CSD Passenger Train         
This was after I got on. As Ive said already, CSD kept some very old fashioned passenger car technology until comparatively late in their history, with some wooden passenger cars from the 1940s being heated by coal stoves like this one. American and British trains stopped using these with the advent of steam heating in the 1880s and 1890s, as the combination of coal stoves and wooden construction was thought to constitute a fire hazard.
