Ken, Thank you for the photo and the list of dimensions. That is very helpful. Is there any evidence of the CB&Q having a two-spout (two track) water tank or a wooden tank painted a light yellow? Sta

Keith, I attached some photos I took (Batavia and Yarmouth) and some of unknown origin (Clarinda and Bevier). The Clarinda steel tank was white, so I think the Burlington depot tanks was also white,
