Any idea what the second tender is there for?
Extra water?

Am using an HP Stream with an 11.6" Screen but can make out "M of W" on second tender.
So it is definitely not for extra water.  Someone using a large monitor might be able to provide you additional info.

Looks like the second tender is backwards.

It says Norfolk and Western, the number, then M of W. Likely they are just switching it out - no connection to the locomotive

M of W identifies it as being assigned Maintenance of Way service,  My real question is does any of the freehand painting identify it as being set aside for scrap.  I can't read it becasue my screen is too small.
