Questions from Arrow Vol 35, Issue3

Fri Nov 1 00:31:14 EDT 2019

I just received my new Arrow a couple days ago and it made me wonder about a couple things.
First, the photo on page 2 showing the steamers on the way to the scrapper show their boilers cut in an odd manner. Why would they cut them to only remove the tubes? Were they of no value to scrappers or were they of value to the railroad?
Second, the diagram on pages 44-45 show the booster plumbing for a steamer. Why would the N&W choose to show the application on a 2-8-2 since there were no N&W Mikados? Just seems odd to me.
Thanks for the great Arrow........as usual!
