Reply to "The NYC PT-2 Tender"

Believe the tender pictured is unique to the "Big 4".  Not the same as Niagara or other Hudson PT tenders.  Note the overhang in back.   Suspect it came to be so as to fit on a shorter turntable. Perhaps others have more insight.

For what it's with, by doing a Google search "NYC PT tender", the results will quickly to you to the New York Central Historical Society site, where there is a very lengthy article on ALL the various "PT" tenders the NYC used. Included is exactly which Hudsons received which design "PT" tender, and on what dates. There are also general dimensional drawings, which pretty much show that ALL the "PT" tenders were the same overall length, with the same length overhang on the rear. 

What might be confusion in that video clip, are the many L4 class Mohawks shown which had very big tenders, but NOT the "PT" pedestal design.
