Hey Dave,

Your discussion is hard to follow without the image to look at. So, I took the liberty of posting the Dr. Scott portrait of Hancock both ways. The photo is uncropped, I believe Todd Hackett may have posted this from his collection:



Image with locomotives taking water, headed south (toward the tunnel).




Image with the locomotives taking water, headed north, down grade toward the siding and old depot site.

IMHO, the first image is correct, the flanger and rotary tender on the siding as it begins its curve to the west, photographer standing near the old depot site.
