It's Tender Tuesday again.
And this week I have more news on the Boston and Main tender going under restoration at Steamtown in Scranton PA.
The tender tank is on it's way to get measured and reproduced as new. In this Rich Jahn cell phone pic It's on it's way off the parks property to a fabricator ( I don't know where ). You can check the Steamtown Facebook page for a few more pics.
As of now the tender frame is still parked in the same location as before. In the pic you can see the wooden planks placed on the steal frame to help support the cistern. Also the front of the frame, where the stoker is mounted, has been encapsulated as some asbestoses was discovered after the tank was removed. After that has been cleaned and the "Historic Structure", as Steamtown calls them, is deemed safe I will get some detail shots.
