A Camelback, double cab or Mother Hubbard, mostly used by railroads that served the NE Pennsylvania anthracite coal fields. The phat firebox was so they could burn low grade anthracite waste, thus the cab was scooted forward.

Looks like a Euro loco tricked out as a Maine narrow gauge Forney. I like the standard gauge Forneys that ran on the New York elevateds.

It’s a funicular that raised and lowered streetcars on Mt. Adams in Cincinnati. There’s a current funicular thread here on /n/ where I posted this pic.

Sad that this Gigakino is long gone, however the closest thing still in existence is the Trieste tram, which has a funicular section where the tram cars are placed above a dummy car and then run as funicular for a stretch, to then continue on as normal trams.

Double decker streetcars were rare in the U.S. The “Broadway Battleship” in New York was a one of a kind experiment that only lasted a decade.
