The boiler portion of the front section is attached to theformer smoke arch of the original locomotive by a separablering. One section of this ring is riveted to the old smoke archand the other section is riveted to the new shell just back ofthe superheater. The joint in the ring is V-shaped and thetwo sections are secured toge
