Aux water tenders : When the Js were in regular service, were aux water tenders needed anywhere or at all ?Ron Hash

Ron,

 

The 14 J’s got the cupola and water connections on their tenders from late January to early March 1958.  There are photos with the J tenders having the cupola while in passenger service.  There are no pictures of them using the A-tanks in passenger service that I have seen.  

 

After the Bristol line was dieselized on 1 January 1958, three J’s were assigned to the Scioto Division for use there in freight service.  A-tanks were used there.  After the J’s were bumped off passenger service in July ’58, some were used in local freight work and photos show that A-tanks were used on them then.
