Subject: History and construction drawings for old elevated water storage tanks

Good Morning,
 
I have been interested in the design and construction of old railroad elevated storage water tanks used along the right of way.   I am interested in the smaller gauge rail systems as well.  Most smaller rail systems were used for gold mines and shortline systems in Southern Oregon.   Can you assist me in locating this info or able to refer me to another web site ... I have searched for hours.
 
Thank for your time,
