I surmise the pump was mounted there because it was a convenient place to put it; other classes besides consolidations show pumps in that same spot just ahead of the cab. The pump didn't block the door very much. It could open to within about 10 or 15 degrees of perpendicular. This is more readily seen from a frontal photograph. It wouldn't have been an issue until such a time as larger pumps were installed.
