According to Bernard Corbin’s Locomotive book, the tenders of O-4’s were later modified for oil.

Mike - That's an interesting question. Were the O-4's delivered to the Q as coal burners and then converted by the Q to oil fired, or were they delivered as oil
burners. I have never seen an image of a coal burning O-4. Does anyone have an image of a coal burning O-4 that they can share with us? I would tend to think all the O-4's were built as oil burners, but I do not really know one way or the other. May be
Hol will know..... Comments, please. If the O-4's were delivered as oil burners, that rules out any use on Lines East as there were no oil fueling facilities east of Lincoln to my best knowledge. Thus, for heavy repairs the O-4's would've been most likely
sent to Denver, not West Burlington. Best Regards - Louis
