This photo shows SVRy #2 at the Whitney, Ore. Depot after bucking heavy snow on Raferty Flat. Based on #2 having a wood cab, the photo would be pre1921. Take a look at the second photo and see if you think that the cab may be partly full of snow. Part of what I see through the cab window to the left may be the cab curtain, but to the right it looks like they it might have gotten a little crowed. Notice also that the typically wood burning SVRy has #2's tender filled with coal.
