And here was me just wondering if that water tank had an octagonal roof or a conical one. ;)

Nice 3-way stub in the foreground there too….

PS: can anyone tell from the other angle (posted earlier) if the frostbox is on the front of that water tank or in the center?  It looks like the front to me, but the picture is awful grainy when you get up close….

Jeff,  
The Question to ask: Was the D&RG tank rebuilt to the modern style and retained for use given they gave up operating that line very early on.  In all the pictures, I can't say it's visible in later years, maybe someone else will post a picture of the later days as the D&RG tank of this period should be more like this.

Compare the enlargements.

But the Tank takes on a different appearance at the Base in this previously posted view: Note the UPD&G (C&S) tank at this time is also of the lower structure enclosed type.
