Yes, a good many of the Q's switchers had tenders with coal compartments recessed inward on both sides to provide improved or "clear visions" toward the rear from the cab.  And beginning around 1950 the railroad modified the tenders of most O-1-A Mikados so the sides of the coal compartments sloped inward at about a 30-degree angle for the same reason -- to improve vision to the rear for switching .

Hol,

Thanks for the response.  Did the Burlington use clear vision tenders with any of its locomotives?  Thank you.

No, those are the locomotives' original Burlington design rolltop tenders as modified with taller straight-side coal compartments.

Hol,

Thanks for the wonderful photos and the time to re-post them.  Are the tenders in these photos of the 800-803 the USRA clear vision tenders?  Thank you.
