This is probably a very silly question, but... When steam locomotives pulled an extra tender, how did they access the coal / water from the second tender? I would assume that they stopped at a siding and rotated the empty tender with the full tender, but am not positive. Was there some sort of mechanical device that moved the coal from the 2nd tender to the 1st? I'm guessing not... Thanks, Mike
