J 611 Tender Trucks

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Oh yes, 611 had her original tender in excursion service. Where would 
they find another J tender after all the others were scrapped? And the 
trucks on 611-613 were different from 600-610. The auxiliary tender was 
not original, being an ex-L&N Emma tender, but that's another 
story.      Jim Nichols
