    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

    The first refinement in crankcase ventilation was the road draught tube. This is a pipe running from the crankcase (or the valve cover on an overhead valve engine) down to a downwards-facing open end located in the vehicle's slipstream. When the vehicle is moving, airflow across the open end of the tube creates suction (a "draught" or draft ...

The poppet valves also gave the locomotive a distinctive "chuffing" sound.
