Hmm debatable whether you can call the Bullied a streamliner. Some say yes it is. I think that it is a a form of smoothing but the front end is certainly not. There was a notion that it was designed to go through the carriage washing plant but no evidence they ever did. I think that if they were washed there was always the potential for the oil pots to be mixed with water. Something that is a big no no.
