SD9s seem to have a weird fuel tank arrangement. The tank appears to
actually be 2 smaller tanks, sometimes you see one, (at the rear), other times
both. Can someone comment on this option with the SD9 and why you see
different
tank configurations?
Jan -
One tank was the water supply for the steam generator. When the steam
generator was removed, the water tank became a second fuel tank. The "SD9s"
class
SD9 did not have a steam generator and therefore only one small (800 gal)
fuel tank. The "s" stood for "single control". As I recall, all of the CB&Q
GP7, GP9 and SD9 had dual controls and steam generators. Hope this answers
your question regarding the fuel/water tanks?
