Here's an dumb question. That's a "water bottle" between UP 3985's tender and the diesel?
Yes. Normally referred to as an auxiliary water tender/tank.
Does the water flow from it, into the 3985's tender? Gravity?
Yes, by gravity. There are 2 1/2" fire hose fittings at the lower corners for refilling from a fire hydrant.
Pump?
No need for a pump.
I believe the photo is from Frontier Days, July 2004, in Carr Colorado. Hot Water …. who may be in the cab?
Engineer, Fireman and Pilot Engineer or Pilot Conductor. Possibly a "guest".
Thanks
