The book "Colorado & Southern, A Personal Memory of the Standard Gauge" by
Ross Grenard (Andover Jct. Publications, 1987) has a photo of C&S 806 (Q
5507) taking water at Boulder (Ara) in 1957. The photo looks to be taken
from the cupola of a caboose right behind the engine. It shows the oil
filler at the rear of the tank and the handrail just to the left of it
(toward the fireman's side). Some other details (like marker lamp brackets)
can also be seen. The photo is on page 33 of that book. If anyone wants to
see it, I'll try scanning it, but halftones usually don't scan very well.
The drawing in the Corbin & Kerka book shows the handrail down the middle,
which appears to be incorrect. In another photo or two, the handrail on the
807 appears to be off center also, also toward the fireman's side.
