Rick (and Derrell):

What is the purpose of the tender flare? This is a detail that seems pervasive earlier, and was removed on both the D&RG and C&S in later years. I can understand how a 12" flare above the deck would provide a means for added wood storage for a wood burner where cord wood is stacked on every available surface. On coal burners, the flare at the rear over the water tank seems more cosmetic. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
