When SVRR got former Sumpter Valley Ry. #19 and #20 from the White Pass in 1977, they came down to Oregon with US Army 190 class tenders. Eventually these tenders went back to the White Pass after the original #19 and #20 tenders were recovered from Guatemala where they had gone behind #250 and #251. In this undated scene we see #80 / #20 out behind the shop minus the 190 Class tender. Without research, I am not sure when the 190 tenders went back north to help date this shot. The scan is from the SVRR Archive.
