Bob:  The 15,000 gallon tender would have had 3-axle trucks of the T-27
type (modified Pilcher).

Would the 15,000 gallon tender have had 2-wheel trucks, or 3-wheel
trucks?

	According to the listing in Vern French's Williamson terminal
book, as of 31 DEC 1955, the tenders for Z-1's were a mix of 18,000 and
16,000 tenders.  Of the 52 locomotives listed, 21 were listed with
16,000 gallon tenders.  However, there is some uncertainty in this
listing as to the actual tenders assigned to each locomotive.  It would
appear that a Z-1 with a 15,000 gallon tender was headed to the scrap
line.  There was a good deal of swapping around at that time as many
steam locomotives were heading to the scrap or storage lines as the
diesel deliveries built up..

	 

	Prior to about 1956, many of the E-2's had 15,000 gallon
tenders, 578 certainly did as did 563.  

	 

	The 31 Dec 1955 listing shows most of the Y-3's and Y-3a's with
fish belly 18,000 gallon tenders with some locomotives getting the
ex-B&LE 22,000 gallon tenders.  

	 

	For 1954, the Y-3's, Y-3a's and Z-1'c could use the 16,000 or
the 18,000, the E-2 would most likely have the 15,000 gallon tender.

All,

Tender Question

I am working on:
Z1b, E2a, Y3, Y3a.
I have 3 18,000 gal tenders and 1 16,000 gal tender.

In 1954 which of those engine would be the most likely to have the
16,000 gal tender.
E2a #578 got a 18,000 right? but was that later?
On a Z1b what was the most typical tender in '54.

Thanks,
John Rhodes
