Thank you Doug. looks like I'm wrong, happily.
Is the 2400 gals= to 20,000lbs?
I figured her saddle tank hold something like 500gals? I wonder how much the boiler holds. so plus the fuel oil(50gals maybe?) I guess she could weigh more than 20,000lbs wet.
No matter what the weight really would be it surprises me.I never thought how much she would really weigh loaded.
