Steam going to scrap

[NW Mailing List]

In the majority of photos and videos of N&W steam going to scrap I have noticed the round inspection plates at the forward lower corners of tenders have been removed. Was there something there they wanted to remove or was this just to drain the water from the tenders prior to scrapping?
Thanks!
