D&RGW-Denver&Rio GrandeWesternRR 8x10 b/w photograph of Outfit Water Car 06038. This 2500 Gallon tender was placed in service on May 7, 1926 after being salvaged from Engine 211 when the engine was retired and dismantled in March 1926. Used in Water and Coal Service for extra gang and building and bridge outfit trains. The ex tender water car was retired and scrapped in Oct 1952. An added benefit of the photos of these retired tenders is a mu...ch better look at the tender details not often apparent in engine photographs. This tender is representative of many "C" class tenders, of which very few survive today. Photo information is on back of photo. This 8x10 photo has been trimmed to 6 1/4x10 which fits a 116 negative enlargement.
