Today's Video. The 4014 heads back to Ogden UT. She's back in her old home! BTW found out today she is pulling 4015's tender
Ogden and the Wasatch Mountains await
Outside the Ogden Union Station. Doubt she ever had occasion to be here before, but it looks good.
The crew said this was the sharpest curve that they encountered the entire trip. Where is that overhang. I want to see some articulation!

How'd you find out that little tidbit about the tender?
As they were switching into the Ogden Yard the engine stopped next to us. Had a good 20 minute conversation with the crew and no one around. Somehow it came up in conversation. He said most of the remaining ones had mismatched tenders.It's assumed during the last preparation for moving them to museums they pulled the best looking ones and put them with the engines that were not being scrapped.

Makes perfect sense. Thanks.

Tender swapping wasn't an uncommon practice on at least several roads, the UP and the SP come to mind. My good friend HotWater can attest to this.
