A photo of this train was published in an old issue of Pacific News, showing the train stopped at Merced. Did it take on water there too? Date: 10/05/15 21:21 Re: SP 4460 To Fresno 10-12-1958 Author: TonyJ Great photos of back when liability concerns were not as great!

Interestingly, the water plug is painted silver, just like the water plugs that were at the SP Bakersfield locomotive servicing area. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 10/06/15 18:51 by johnsweetser.

Were they just crossing tender's towers, or did they have some other function?
