The tender of unknown loco, At the front side of YP-2211 at Wankaner Loco Shed. I don't know where is the boiler of this tender.
Is the tender coupled to the front coupler of the locomotive?

Another loco YP-2211 beside the Wankaner Loco Shed. There is only half part of loco found. This loco is only in better position.
