Where was the SVR water tank at Whitney, Oregon located in relation to the depot? I have seen maps that place the tank West of the depot on the South side of the mainline, but I have also read posts and seen pictures that seem to place the tank East of the depot about 100 yards, next to the creek, on the North side of the tracks with a windmill to pump water into the tank. Did the tower get moved at some point? Maybe when the spur track to the new Oregon Lumber Company mill was built?
