Re: [CBQ] Picking Up Water on the Fly?

["cvlk" <cvlk@comcast.net>]

Rory-

I believe it is.   All my research material is packed right at the moment but I 
seem to remember that the Class N or earyly Class P locomotives had water 
scoops on them.
Maybe Rupert or somebody else has come across some documentation on this???

  Group:

  Just got back from RR Days in Galesburg. Was manning the 3006 as a member of 
the Galesburg RR Museum answering questions the public asked about the 
locomotive. Anyway, an ex Q employee said that the Q had a few locomotives that 
had tenders that could pickup water on the fly. I said "I think you're thinking 
the NYC". He said no, there was a water pit at Buda, IL. I know there was a 
water tower West of Buda, right at the CNW overpass, but thought he was 
mistaken. I've revisted my Corbin Steam Loco's of the Burlington but see 
nothing about it. The more I write this the more rediculous this sounds, and I 
feel like an idiot for even asking - but, could this be true? :-)

  Thanks Group.
