When the KCS disposed of their "J" 2-10-4 locomotives, some of the tenders were converted to tank cars with modifications such as a fuel dome. Behind the locomotives, they carried 21,000 gallons of water and 4500 gallons of fuel oil. With a capacity of 200,000 pounds they were equipped with three axle trucks to carry that much weight. One was numbered KCS 0956 and marked DIESEL FUEL ONLY. Does anyone have a photo of a KCS (or another road's) converted black tender with its white fuel dome? It would make a unique bashed car. Thank you, John in Lansing, ILL
