The flare on the tender of CCNG/GB&L (ex FIdeCA) 44 was used to direct water off to the side of the tender rather than have it spill and run down the sides of the tender when it overflowed or sloshed out the fill spout.

There were small spouts in the corners of the tender and the water would run through the spouts rather than blowing all over the cars and passengers.

The only thing that I knew that when the tender overflowed it was a good place to take a shower, as there was no running water at our depot in Central City. It was cold, but it worked. We used to fill the tender up at night for the first run of the morning.
