Railroad firefighting equipment. Each tank was able to hold 10-12,000 gallons of water and one had a self contained fire pump. The flat bed car in between was used to hold hoses and other related fire fighting tools.

This tender, approx. 11.526 meters (38ft) long had a light weight of 58,097.25 kg (128,250 lb) and could carry 52,780 Litres (11,600 Imperial gallons) of water. When modified the coal compartment was modified and converted to the pump room and the water capacity was increased slightly. After conversion, CN 52147 was assigned to Edmundston, NB, for its entire career and spent most of its time stored inside the roundhouse in a ready condition. It was the last Atlantic Region fire fighting tender to be retired in 1986 and was one of the last of the former steam engine tenders on the CN system.
