1960-1961 C&S News - caboose 1006 renovation, Leadville runs, scrap and display locos

[Kurt Maechner]

I looked through the archive of the Rocky Mountain Rail Report, the newsletter of the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club and put a post together with some miscellaneous South Park Line/C&Sng news from the 1960-1961 editions including:

The break-even point and final sales of the Pictorial Supplement to the DSP&P book by E.J. Haley, Richard Kindig, and M.C. Poor

Information on the operation of the now-standard gauged C&S Climax to Leadville line, including C&S rotary 99201.

Lists of C&S/CB&Q steam engines recently scrapped, the few left in the scrap line, and a list of engines on display, including the narrow gauge ones (Numbers 9, 60, and 71)

Information on a 1961 renovation of C&S caboose 1006 in Silver Plume.

Enjoy,
Kurt
