@CarNutandTrainNut2 That it does. This would be the reason UP (and NS during their previous steam program) uses water tenders on ALL runs. Carrying along a tool car and top notch mechanics is also must. NS had NONE of these during this run. It took over 8.5 hours to make this round trip. Not good!
@anb740 A 50 mile break in close to home doesn't need a canteen or a tool car. We had a tool truck following with extra hoses in the truck and tender boxes. The first time on the way up, half the tank was used so even then water should have been taken. The limit was pushed then, which is why water was taken this time.
Cool!

Odd how on her first test run they didn't refill her water supply, does running at lower speeds use up more water?

Well, lets hope she will have a water canteen and a tool car when they officially start their mainline trips.
