I don't recall ever seeing the tank-on-flatcar or the rail-car either, on my visits to the EBT.
I was there one time when there were no tourists around, and only one shop worker. He invited me to go into the engine house and also to "feel free to get up in the cab". I had stopped there only because I was passing through to another destination, and was kicking myself all the way home, as I hadn't brought a camera with me.
My last visit, I think, was when they ran the steam doubleheader, and I made full use of my camera that day, especially because the wander-around-rules were pretty-much more relaxed, as long as one was mindful of safety concerns.
Having spent decades in a steel mill where trains were everywhere, I was well-aware of what was safe and what wasn't.
