Clearance Diagram Plan No. 43437G dated 5/6/20 does not show for a tool shed but if depends on which state you are in

Missouri shows 16 feet

Drawing 86666 6/30/45  Grading and dressing for CTC Instrument and Shelter House shows 14 ft from near rail

I think the society reprinted Drawing 97789 Signal Maintainers 4 stall motor car house.  I have it in my Standard Plan Notebook but can not find on the BRHS Index(I have trouble with computer index and prefer to thumb thru the pages)

A lot of standard structures were pre-fabbed at Havelock using recycled materials 97789 is for a four stall 10 X 29'6" but could have just as well been built cut in half with one stall and a tool shed.  If I remember right there use to be one behind the tower at Aurora used to store both maintainer and inspector cars.

I tried to scan it and send 97789 IF it does not work will take to Dave's Next weekend and I know he can send it

What is the standard distance from rail to front of a handcar shed?
We know ours is not correct and we are considering re-doing it.
(Plus, it is falling down.)

Anyone have a good company drawing of a standard shed?
Thanks.
