I remeber there being a thread about this a while back, but I can't seem to find it.   I was recently reading George H. Baker's "Firing with Bituminous Coal (Fireman's and Brakeman's Preporatory Instruction, Part 2)", Published 1927. I recall Mr. Baker saying that when the engine is sitting, it may be wise to "pre-heat" the water in the tender by blowing boiler steam back into it, the pre-heated water, even only if heated a few degrees, would greatly lower the amount of fuel needed to boil it later. Sorry for a late response, S. Connor
