It's just a guess, but perhaps the cab--being extraordinarily hot in the Haitian tropics--was moved backwards so that only the backhead projected into the cab, minimizing to some extent the heat from the boiler. The cab, such as it is, is only a roof anyway; there is no front or sides to it. Could also be a post-wreck repair
