"High Iron Co" Tender

Having done a little research I managed to ascertain that this close up shot is actually of the High Iron Co. 759A auxiliary tender which before coming to Scranton was paired with Nickel Plate Road 2-8-4 No. 759 and used on excursions that the High Iron Co operated in the 1960s and 1970s. The tender originally came from the Norfolk & Western and is known as a "Canteen" which several railroads used to extend their steam locomotives’ range between water stops.
