OK here it is, the highly anticipated, overly glorified, incredibly extravagant, start of the Tender Tuesday thread.
Here ,every Tuesday, we will discus and showcase the unsung hero's of the steam era,,,, The tender. With out witch there would be no motion in your locomotion. Right from the first days of steam to the very end, the tender was there. Wood, oil, coal, gas, you name it , they held them all. Quietly working behind the scenes (almost a pun there), to make our choo choo's go. Even Conrail had a few of them.
So to start it off here are a few shots of a survivor. This little slope back from the city of brotherly love has been newly refurbished and currently in excursion service in Scranton PA. She is resting in the roundhouse, and as I type this is being readied for this summers outings.
