Rio Grande multiple tenders 346 & 463

Refer to the two pictures attached.
I found the 463 tender in the weeds behind the Chama engine house. There is another 463 tender attached to locomotive 463 down in Antonito.
I also found the 346 tender at Strasburg in Pennsylvania, yet locomotive 346 is in Golden with a 346 tender attached.
Why multiple tenders? Are they both original? Is one from a different locomotive? What this other locomotive scrapped, but the tender saved?
Thank you,
Matthew
