Presently under rebuild at Scranton, here is B&M 3713 stored at Billerica Shops in Massachusetts, with an 0-8-0, which did not survive: http://photos.nerail.org/showpic/?photo ... ydate%3A19 And just the tenders of the 3719 and 3716, headed for scrap at Billerica the following year: http://photos.nerail.org/showpic/?photo ... ydate%3A20 And some older Pacifics being cut up there in 1953: http://photos.nerail.org/showpic/?photo ... ydate%3A35 |

The second photo (of the two tenders alone) made me wonder: How would you move a tender alone in train? I assume that couplers would have to be affixed to the "front" of the tender in place of the drawbar. I also assume that they did this even to move these two to the scrapper. Scott |

They might have connected them drawbar-to-drawbar also, with couplers remaining at either end.. |

Scott Put it on a flat car. That's what they did with RDG 2100's tender for just that reason. |
