The tender was called a Vanderbilt tender. U2's were dual service engines (freight & passenger). I would assume she's still a coal burner because of the ash pan. Idler wheels your referring to is pilot truck (front) and engine or trailing truck (under the cab).
wow would CN 6153 be restore and steamed again.
Probably not, I bet it would cost a fortune to replace the steam lines
This makes me want two things;
-Visit the Montréal Railroad museum
-More Candian engines in train video games
The museum is awesome, but not as good as American museums like Steamtown or Illinois RailwY museum
Oh those are the best museums? I'm sure Europe has some good ones too.

I wonder if the tender had the water scoop that Pennsylvania and NYC engine tenders had
@cooltrainsinmontreal4883 I don't believe so. If you look under the tender it will be visible
Definitely coal burner good engines not as good as 6200s
