C&S Photos on eBay.

[Robert McFarland]

You can see  DSP&P 67 on p39 of the Pictorial

[Ken Martin]

Here is a picture of Milwaukee 4 ex-C&S 55.
This was taken by my grandfather.
I do not know the date.

A new photo on eBay:

On back of the photo Vollrath collection is indicated, no date.

C&S 10 waits on the spot near the Leadville depot c 1930-31. Given the house in the background, I believe noumber 10 is on one of the two passenger lead tracks, just north of the depot.

Of interest, in the bottom foreground are the timbered remains of the elevated ramps to allow ore wagons to dump ore into open cars on the near house track.

And in the left background, is that the depot privy with 2 doors, for patrons of different genders?

The photo of #8 is interesting as it appears the former business car later work car is in the back ground

[Jim Courtney]

Currently listed on eBay, as individual prints, is a collection of C&S locomotive portraits. Most I have not seen before.

The add states that the photos were from the Robert Graham collection, implies he was the photographer. A couple look familiar and appear to be by Otto Perry, perhaps Gibson.

The photos are undated, but appear to be mid-1930's to 1941.

I have cleaned up the photos a bit with my software. If you want to view or buy the original print, follow the links . . .

The Cooke 2-6-0 photos up thread are also from the Robert Graham collection.

[Mike Trent]

Thanks, Jim.

Looking at the photos of #70 reminded me that there is an odd thing about the flat smokebox fronts applied to certain locomotives.

Locomotives with flat smokebox fronts are:

B-3-C #9
B-4-D #70
B-4-E #71
B-4-F #74

The only other that comes to mind is #537.

Who knows why, just more useless trivia, I suppose. But there had to be some reason one of each of those classes were equipped that way. Also odd is that of the four C&S engines, three are survivors. Simply coincidental? Perhaps.....

[Jim Courtney]

Don't forget about number 5.

[Mike Trent]

I did.

A nice portrait of Colorado Central locomotive 7 and train at the Georgetown depot. The back of photo dates the image to August 17, 1878.

This is a copy of a print in the Kindig collection.

[Ken Martin]

This photo is in Mineral Belt III p 268 and Poor Memorial p 14.
Baggage is CC 1 and the coach is the only shot I know of CC 7.

Ken Martin

[Dave Eggleston]

There are at least two other photos captioned as being of CC #7: In McCoy & Abbott's Colorado Central book, pages 122 and 236-237.

Last year, when I was combing the books (Poor, Hauck, McCoy) for pictures of each of the CC engines of 1871-77, I found a lot of pictures of engines that have not been identified by authors--and I hadn't developed a clean identifier's guide to help really sort the engines out, if it's even truly possible without seeing a number. Could be another of #7 is lurking in these 25 or so pictures of unidentified engines? I don't know...

[Robert McFarland]

Ken is referring to coach #7 not engine #7.

[Dave Eggleston]

Oops, I misread his sentence.

[Jim Courtney]

A neat photo for Keith:


https://www.ebay.com/itm/Colorado-Southern-Steam-76-Railroad-Locomotive-Photo/312570762267?hash=item48c6ab541b:g:LBQAAOSw~Lpcsftw



Big C&S number 76 switching out caboose 1009 in Leadville, sometime in the late 1930's or early 1940's.

Can anyone identify the lading in the coal car by the C&S freight house to the right?? Whatever it is is likely going up to the mill at Climax.

I still think Keith needs some 3 rail track in his Leadville . . .

[Jim Courtney]

I'm bidding on three C&S locomotive photos just listed on eBay, all from 1933:

C&S 65 with pilot plow and arc headlight.

C&S 68 with pilot plow and long tender.

C&S 70 with sheet metal pilot, arc headlight and new oil tender.


The same seller has other C&S locomotive photos listed, but these three caught my eye.

[Jim Courtney]

A nice Kindig photo of the last Leadville passenger train in Platte Canon, near Waterton:

[D. W. Bassett]

 In response to the post of the C&S/Milwaukee shot above, she has the 3rd driver connected (second earlier) and the "modern" Milwaukee "&Pacific Herald in bright red with silver lettering.  Photo taken at a track near the 2 stall roundhouse AND one stall engine house in Belleview.  My best guess with all these items is late 20's early 30s.

[Chris Walker]

Can anyone identify the lading in the coal car by the C&S freight house to the right?? Whatever it is is likely going up to the mill at Climax.

Jim,
Although the image is none too clear, I would say fairly certainly that those are the end castings(opposite Feeder end) of Marcy Rod Mills, of which Climax had rows of.  I have a catalog around somewhere that may yield an illustration.
Allis-Chalmers also built rodmills of similar design but I haven't seen that name mentioned in the Climax Metals lit.

[Jim Courtney]

Good to hear from you, Chris!

You didn't do the "Covid-19 check in", and I was getting worried about you, your family and the goats!
