Commonly called a “water bottle” or “canteen,” this large capacity tender was used between the 1930s and 1950s to expedite freight delivery by reducing the number of stops required for water pickup. Many of these were “homemade” by the railroads by converting existing oil or coal tenders. A perfect companion for the Class J 4-8-4, our version is based on a standard Norfolk & Western prototype.
