Don the were commonly called "Elephant Ears". They were designed to force the smoke up and away from the loco keeping it out of the cab. Better work environment.

The remains of this turntable are in the woods about 30 minutes from where I live. Considering it is well over 100 years old amazing it is still there.

Not sure if this is Cornwall, Ontario or not.

 

[Pep]

Or this one.. or maybe not
