I think the water car made different and interesting photos as well. I have been told that the water car was fixed up for use on the Polar Express trains in order for the engine to maybe make it all night without stopping for water or something to that nature but that it was never used regularly on Polar trains for some reason. I was told this in the spring of 2015 when I was in Durango so details are a little fuzzy remembering that far back.
