  Weights tabulated in N&W locomotive diagram books are headed, "Weight in Working Order," which would include water in the boiler at the prescribed level and water and coal in the tender, etc.  For example the figures listed on the Y6b diagram are:
      On Drivers                        548500 lbs.
      On Engine Truck                 34640
      On Trailing Truck                28380
      Engine Total                      611520
      Tender                              378600
      Engine and Tender            990120
      Light Weight Tender          135200

    Are the weights usually quoted for N&W steam locomotives empty or operating (water in the boiler, burning coal in the firebox, oil in the lubricators) weights?
