An odd thing that I came across this year, again, but had never previously made the connection, was that the UP actually used a version of this same raised cover back in the 1890's.

Vitrually all of the DL&G/UPD&G engines had a raised cover on the roofs of their cabs, and these lasted into the first years of the C&S. These covers had curved ends, and were finished with screen on the sides similarly to a coach clerestory.
