Boston and Main No. 3713 Tender
Boston and Maine Railroad No. 3713 was a 4-6-2 Pacific built in Lima in 1934. It was designed to operate at a normal speed of 70 miles per hour. No. 3713 carried enough coal to pull and heat a 14-car passenger train for about 250 miles, and enough water to last about 125 miles.
