More RR pics from this week. I'd guess the rims were cast on February, 12th in 1918 at a foundry in Chicago IL called Griffin. They are a narrow gauge RR and the Q M C stand's for Quincy Mining Company. Looks like Griffin is still in production.

Looks to me like the water tank is a little far away from the track. Has one of them been moved or modified?

I agree but can't say why it appears that way.

My guess is the building was restored and moved onto new piling/cribbing, or the original snout rusted and a new replica was installed thats shorter.

The Quincy Mine. The little wafter tower shed is in the upper right of the picture.
