<DIV>clarkfork may be on to something. I don't know when the ATSF converted to oil in Illinois, but the engine below was converted to oil in 1936 soon after it was built. I doubt that 4-8-4s were used in Illinois, and the pictures of lighter weight engines, like a 4-6-2, seem to have a coal tender but with no coal visible.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><A href="http://atsf.railfan.net/atsfpres/atsf3751.html" target=_blank>http://atsf.railfan.net/<WBR>atsfpres/atsf3751.html</A> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>There was definitely coal in the forties at Corwith. The slide show to the right of the picure shows of a coaling tower.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2179198626/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2179198626/</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And also, Rich, I don't have anything on the Santa Fe that has that picture you have in the first posting.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Art</DIV>
