Aspen?

nope  but I'm glad you put in an appearance.

The answer that was declared to be correct on NGDF matches what Google AI said when I did an image search. I've had mixed luck with image searches, but sometimes they're spot on.

Yeah, Todd, pretty hard to stump Bruce; he has the research down pat.  I never thought of using AI, just my "local knowledge" and google street view.

I entered my Fifty Gold Mines Mill tram loco image into AI: I got three answers.
The first was Blackball on our West Coast, declared to be a coalmine; after switching to a VPN set to USA, I got Sego, Ut. coalmine and the third attempt, obtained a comparison with Castle Gate Ut. coalmine.

Pssst: Any takers on a unidentified Leadville Headframe image?

Ha!  I knew it was a place I had skied.  (Though to be fair, I never would have gotten it.)
