N.Y. Railroad Law § 77: Equipment of engines

§ 77. Equipment of engines. It shall be unlawful for any railroad

company to use within the state on its line or lines any locomotive

engine not equipped with a power driving wheel brake and appliances for

operating the train brake system, or to use any locomotive engine

operated by steam not equipped with a mechanically operated door to the

fire box of such locomotive engine, or to use any locomotive engine not

equipped with a vestibuled cab. Such mechanically operated door shall

be so constructed and operated by steam, compressed air, electricity or

other means, and such vestibuled cab shall be so constructed as deemed

best and most efficient by the officers of such railroad. The device for

operating such door shall be so constructed that it may be operated by

the fireman on said engine by means of a push button or other appliance

located in or near the floor of the deck or floor of the tender at a

suitable distance from such door to enable the fireman while firing such

engine, by pressure with his foot to open such door for the firing of

such engine, and such vestibuled cabs shall be so constructed as to

attach to the sides of, and enclose all openings between the engine cab

and the water tank or coal tender attached to such engine; provided,

however, that nothing in this section shall be construed to inhibit the

passage of a locomotive engine not so equipped with such mechanically

operated door or vestibuled cab, moving under its own steam either with

or without a train, when such movement is from a point without this

state through and to a point beyond its borders, or from a point without

this state to a point within it, or from a point within this state to a

point without it if such passage is for the purpose of moving it to or

from a repair shop or shops for the purpose of repairing such locomotive

engine, and when it is not intended for service within this state.
