Eichhornchen

On a steam locomotive, the chimney is referred to as a chimney on UK railways, and as already noted a smokestack on US railroads.

Have being a steam enthusiast since I was a toddler, and I have never heard or read of a chimney referred to as anything else on this side of the Atlantic.
