Western Railroad Discussion > #2921's tender arrived at the Modesto Amtrak station this morningDate: 07/21/17 15:46 #2921's tender arrived at the Modesto Amtrak station this morning Author: lynnpowell ATSF #2921's tender arrived at the Modesto Amtrak station this morning. The move from the park to the station took two-thirds the amount of time it took to move the locomotive. The photos show the tender aboard the super heavy duty transporter soon after arrival at the station. The moving crews were unable to remove the drawbar pins on either the locomotive or the tender, so they DID have to cut the drawbar in two.

When RR Joe Brown and I first saw her (before our memorial ride to Empire in her cab) we noticed that her piston rods (both of them) had been cut through with a torch. That must of left the piston in a static position inside the cylinder.
So sad this old girl got so disfigured over the years. She deserves better! Date: 07/21/17 18:55 Re: #2921's tender arrived at the Modesto Amtrak station this mor Author: CPRR How hard the make a new drawbar?
