Paul and list,

Interesting you mention the Erie Berkshire tender A200 in Cleveland.  I have 
linked to a photo I took of the same tender in August 1967 in the 47th 
Street EL yards in Chicago.  I have no idea where it went from there.  I 
imagine it probably was eventually scrapped.

The other two photos show another steam tender #04023 being used by the EL 
at Far Hills, NJ on the P&D for rail grinding service in 1970.  I have no 
idea of the heritage of that tender, but it is definitely not the same as 
the A200.
