Re: White Pass #80 / SVRy #20

I'd like to know the original number of the #80 tender, but that would probably require scraping off the top level of paint. In 1947, the tenders of ##191, 193, 194,and 197 were put behind ##72, 73, 80, and 81, in unknown individual correspondence. In 1947, Carl Mulvihill was only 11 and was not yet into writing down this kind of info. I couldn't find any written records of the 1947 corresponding numbers. So, the tender at the museum behind #195 would be one of ##191, 193, 194,and 197. After 1947, #195's original tender was put behind #70 and is still running at Dollywood.

The tender assigned to #73 in 1947 is now an auxiliary tender. The tender assigned to #81 in 1947 is now behind #73. The tender assigned to #72 in 1947 is scrapped.
