C&S coach 70 to be restored!

[Kurt Maechner]

I just received word from Bob Bowland, longtime Idaho Springs resident, of the following very exciting news:

C&S coach 70 "will be transported to the Georgetown Loop shops for a full restoration about the end of this month [October] when the Loop operations close down. The loop will be able to retain some staff using pandemic employment funds.  The City[of Idaho Springs] is obligated, among other things, to construct a train shed over the whole train. Seems about as win-win as most deals get."

Unfortunately, I don't have any other details, but if anyone else knows more, please share.  This is great news!

Does anyone have any info on coach 70 since it was moved to Silver Plume for evaluation?

Last I heard was # 70 was in Silver Plume, in the enginehouse and being worked on.  So, apparently funds were available and the evaluation had been done.  I head they were removing things and work was started.
