The fireman's main job was to shovel coal into the firebox of the engine. Early engines burned from 40 to 200 pounds of coal per mile, depending on the quality of the coal and on the engineer. Another job of the fireman was to keep the cylinders on the drive wheels oiled while the train was underway.
