Eastern Railroad Discussion > AC44C6M with a tender?Date: 01/11/25 07:27 AC44C6M with a tender? Author: JPB While watching Virtual Railfan's fairly new Porter Junction IN static live cam, I did a double take as this eastbound NS manifest approached - it looked like NS AC44C6M 4510 was trailing a tender! I'm guessing the "tender" is a Greenbrier-built AOK covered transverse steel coil carrier, as modeled by Rapido?

I'm guessing sticking flat plate steel together is cheaper and easier than bending and cutting circular pieces and parts like most of the older designs.

The train might be B16, Kankakee - Burns Harbor - Elkhart, which somehow always seems to only have one unit. But it has a chunk of steel traffic that frequently includes those cars.
