are no indications of a walkway for access from elsewhere along the roofline.


I had the same questions. I think if you look carefully at it you can see that there is more structure right behind it and that there might be a possible access from that to the walk. You'd have to have something up there to paint it, etc.

Looks like a coal loader; belt driven buckets carry coal to the top and drop it into that chute; down the chute into the tender
