What was the purpose of the tank?

I actually think that the tank was a ‘rush’ that they shoved out to Walkerville for a lift on another train. They went west through the Tube with it and then when they shoved back to Windsor they went all the way to Walkerville to wye the train and come back. When I saw them the next morning heading east, the tank was gone.
