Description The No. 9, affectionately known as River by her crew, after overhaul. She was never given a Ridgeway stack.
I may try a single airtank on this; I don't really think the double fits.

I had no idea; Truckee is based on B-4-Es of the C&S days. This whole design is also mixed with pictures of C&S No. 49.

I don't know. The resemblance is uncanny.

If you happen to have a copy of the Colorado Rail Annual No. 10, you can see for yourself. My references are on p. 105 and 119 for the single-dome design, and this entire idea was based off the p. 105 photo. I redid my MS-Paint of Skywatch Ridge to encompass the 1880s and 1910s, as well as [link] .
