[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard Units 2800 through 2819 has Elsco feedwater heaters, (the air tank looking thing in front of the stack) units 2820 through 2864 had them too, but hidden in a semi-streamlined jacket. 2820 to 2864 also had hidden, or domeless boilers, sand domes and steam domes were very short and also hidden by the streamlined effect. At least 2 of the last units were oil burnners. Look close at the photos, you can see the air tanks just under the running boards. Ed [/quote] That sounds right to me, I remember when the Royal Hudson 2860 was still running on BC Rail it was much more streamlined than the 2816. The 2860 had no visible feedwater heater and had a much less clutered looking boiler. I always prefered the 2860, but when I heard they were running the 2816 I didn't hesitate to go watch. [^] Both burn oil.
