Re: Old Faithful has a twin????
I am not certain what you mean by 'twin'.

It does look like is has a secondary vent on it's mound, just off to the right, which usually just steams, but I can't find a reference to it. I did see very minor splashing once, and was pretty certain I read that it was on the same mound...but I really can't be certain.

Off to the left is Split Cone...the one with the tear in it, that does not steam, although its vent has been letting out streams of steam lately, with rare instances of low splashing water.

Split Cone is a very minor eruption that has pretty much been completely quiet for years. When it does erupt, the water is usually just give or take 2 foot tall.

We're either of these what you meant?
