Reply to "Auxiliary Water Tenders"

I love this image.  One guesses the mail contract was the last customer on the branch.  How to make it work?  Use a worn out ancient 10-wheeler, shut down the infrastructure down the branch, stack up the coal (like 765 did a couple of years ago) and drag along your water supply!  Making it work!
