>>Does the incoming steam locomotive pull right up to the
bumper/station
Remembering my experience as a commuter begining the 1950s, yes, the steam locomotive pulling the arriving train would pull up to with a car length or so from the bumper. There was no smoke or steam entering the building because North Station was open above the tracks and IIRC had double airlock doors entering the concourse.
