If I had to guess as to the origin of "SMOKEY" , I would guess that that the name came from the popular 1977 movie "Smokey and the Bandit". Just a guess though since the stoker jet noise made communication with the crew difficult.
Here is another view of SMOKEY making very little smoke
Here is my brother climbing down from SMOKEY after his Fouriesburg to Slabberts cab ride
