A smokebox is a part of a steam locomotive that collects and channels exhaust gases from the firebox to the chimney. It is typically located at the front of the boiler and helps direct the smoke and hot gases away from the train. The smokebox also contains a series of tubes, known as the flue tubes, that allow the hot gases to pass through and transfer heat to the water in the boiler, helping to generate steam. The design of the smokebox helps maintain proper airflow, ensuring the engine operates efficiently while keeping the air around the train cleaner.
