[quote]QUOTE: The "tank" on top of the smokebox is indeed a feedwater heater. 2860 and other streamlined locomotives had their feedwater heaters inside the smokebox so it wouldn't interfere with the aerodynamics. The air tanks for the brakes are typically located uner the running boards. [/quote] [quote]QUOTE: After reviewing the references and again looking at the pictures, it is indeed the Airtank, as suspected [/quote] Now I'm confused.......if there originally was a feedwater heater there and now it's an airtank where did the feedwater heater go?
