Steamtown Museum display of heavyweight Pullman car NPS # 4810 (former ACL Arsenal Tower, 8 Sec, 1 Dr, 3 Dbr, built 1925) with a portion of the fresh water tank seen at Scranton, Pennsylvania, October 1996. This style of insulated fresh water tank was mounted along the edge of the underbody on countless heavyweight Pullman cars. The control valve handle and inlet connection is shown in this view. The item to the left of the tank is a steam trap or water seperator, a device that removes water (condensation) from the steam train line. Notice you can still see some remaining ACL purple paint spots on the control valve handle and some yellow striping remaining along the bottom edge side of the car.
