Posted: Fri Nov 25, 2011 2:47 pmView of tender from the top. Notice the two metal rods appx 1" in the center. These rods are what carries the tension from the locomotive through the tender. This way the frame avoids undue tension and stress.

Posted: Fri Nov 25, 2011 2:50 pmEnd view of the rods. When you ride behind the rebuilt 463, these rods are what carries the pull of the locomotive through the tender to the coupler.
