An interesting east/west comparison of the Centipede types is UP 844's tender compared to the NYC Niagra tenders. Both are similar designs with similar total weights, but the NYC version has more coal capacity but less water, most likely because of those track pans. <br /> <br />844's tender capacity is 23,500 gallons of water and 25 tons of coal(6550 gallons of oil). The Niagra's tender carries 18,000 gallons of water and 46 tons of coal. Doing the math at 8 pounds per gallon of water, it's virtually an even trade. <br /> <br />I'm guessing that the Niagra's stoker screw was among the longest ever used.[:)]
