1962 Argo Tunnel

[drgwcs]

From my father Weldon's pictures taken in 1962 here is the Argo Tunnel in Idaho Springs. When I began to digitize my father's collection about six years ago, I found it interesting that he took pictures of the area that I had been modeling. I built a model of the chutes following Harry Brunk's plans about 1984 and took a trip to Colorado in 1985. Sadly the chutes had been torn down not long before.

Great photos, Jim.  Thanks for sharing them.  It's great to see the chutes and the grade before things were torn down.
