Rupert - Just reviewed the O-4 section in the Corbin book and you're right! That means the O-4's were delivered as coal burners and might've seen some service on Lines East before being converted to oil firing. Sure would like to find a picture of a coal burning O-4.  Thanks and best regards - Louis

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
