I don't think the McEwen tank was located on a grade when we moved it from Bates. However, it was a RR tank and was moved at least once before we got it. The story is that it was originally on the SVRy mainline, but was transfered to OLC when the larger tanks were built. It could have been moved several times before we got it, and was likely rebuilt at some point. The redwood tank might have survived from the turn of the century, but the trestle and house probably wouldn't.
