WM Shay #6 at Cass- need photo of detail- that spout

I'm improving my Shay in N scale.

And modern (versus vintage) shots of the WM Shay #6 show some kind of  spout at the back side of the coal bunker.

But because that spot is BETWEEN the tender and the locomotive (and it's all black!), it is REALLY hard to see what that thing looks like- especially at the bottom where it connects to the coal bunker.

I'd like to model it.   Anybody have better photos?
(anybody live near Cass?   :)

That is the best I could find and it's not all that helpful for this purpose.

That photo is even better then the ONE that semi shows it in the book I have on the #6 I got while at Cass back in Oct.  If I had known you needed it then i would have looked in person. Sorry but then that's how it usually works.

Thank you.  That was better than any shot I've seen.   Problem is, that this is on the boring side- not many people shoot this side.
