Gidday Matt, I know nothing about railroad tugs, but on the little research I’ve done on the Detroit River Car Ferries, the owners were certainly not adverse to chopping and changing the structures, (for instance, there are photos of the “Detroit” with 4, 3, and 2 funnels at different times of her career) so your surmise seems reasonably logical.
I'm enjoying the build,
Cheers, the Bear.
