Re: SVR Whitney Water Tank

Well, Martin scooped me on the photo showing the later tank location, but here is a kind of schematical drawing of Whitney showing the original location along with the well and pump house.
This was taken from a track profile sheet published in 1926, however the data was lifted from the 1916 ICC evaluation report. In other words, I still don't know exactly when the switch was made.
Edit: here is another photo I just re-discovered of the Whitney Depot and water tank as first constructed.
