nanaimo73 asketh: "Did the N&W use a lot of auxiliary tenders to cut down on water stops?" Yes. They had well over 100 auxiliary tenders that eliminated water stops on several disricts. It was not necessary for heavy tonnage trains to stop for water between Columbus or Cincinnati and Portsmouth; between Portsmouth and Williamson; between Williamson and Bluefield, between Bluefield and Roanoke, etc. (both directions, of course). NW_611 - the three engines used by Union Carbide were not Ys; they were As, of which the 1218 was one. I believe the other two were 1202 and 1230. Old Timer
