I said the same thing when I took the pics, didn't know why they were like that till the Kennecott thread popped up.

Is it just me, or does the top grab in the bottom photo of #2510 look like... I can rest easy if my grabs aren't exactly straight? ;D

It looks like it straight to me as well, but does it stop behind the sand hatch with it at an angle, or does it goes all the way across? Those are beautiful locomotives, I love that color combo.
