Along with what Earl mentioned about buffers and draw bars, there are some differences with the suction pipes that make the hoses different lengths. Also the air hoses differ
I always wanted to standardize so that replacing hoses would be a little more straight forward.
Keeping 5 or 6 engines running with all the charters and double and triple headers made it difficult to prioritize the work.
You can get any of the tenders behind any of the engines but it requires a lot of fussing around. And then you have to do it all again to change them back.
