C&S Photos on eBay.

Interesting that despite the major damage, coach 160 went on to an extended life as the renumbered 56.
C&S repair crews apparently liked challenges.

There are some pricy but interesting photos listed on eBay by "Colorado Artifactual"

This is the most interesting, one I've never seen, of C&S 7 awaiting departure at Silver Plume:

Others include C&S 71's crew at Pitkin:

A photo labeled Colorado Central in Clear Creek Canon, looks more like the D&RG in the Black Canon to me:

Great pictures. Thanks for pointing them out. It's amazing that so many "new" pictures continue to surface.

Don't forget the Burro's!

That looks like the same buggy shown here at the east side of Alpine Tunnel:

This is a great week for C&S photos on eBay!!!

Consider this Dr. C.H. Scott portrait (cabinet card) of the DL&G / C&S rotary at Como, c.1900:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/324632579274?hash=item4b959c0cca:g:uswAAOSwliJgpPbT




Note the end of the boxcar with white end fascia at the left frame, possibly a Litchfield 26 footer . . .

Here's a close-up of that (I have the original glass plate negative):

[Jim Courtney]

Fantastic, Todd.

Given the UP reporting marks, photo is probably a bit earlier, say 1895-1898.

I'm curious, how large is the glass plate negative?? Was the cabinet card a contact print, you think?

The Scott negatives are 5x7. The cabinet cards of his are the same size, so I assume they are contact prints.

Two more interesting, if pricey, photos from Colorado Artifactual:


An early view of Forks Creek, with the original wooden bridge and the section house:

The rotary picture sure went for a great price.Almost $300.  An image that is somewhat common, but someone was willing to pay for the original card.  Great photo!

[Robert McFarland]

Isn't one of the photos  a picture of Alicante?

Just listed is this photo of C&S 68 in Denver in 1938:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/265203692412?hash=item3dbf5f337c:g:QHMAAOSwbqFg0O36

Another portrait of C&S number 68, in Denver, dated January 5th, 1939:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/234086706231?hash=item3680a7ac37:g:1WAAAOSwxQhg7Hay


Photographer is Joseph Schick, a name I've never come across before.

[Ken Martin]

Joseph Schick was a farmer in Keenesburg, CO who started taking photos in the thirties. DPL has bunch of his photos.

Interesting portrait of C&S 70, after conversion to oil, but still carrying the old Handlan-Buck headlight:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/265260659634?hash=item3dc2c473b2:g:5GEAAOSw9oRhEV80



The photo is dated on the back as 6-11-34; photographer is again Joseph Schick.

Can anyone identify the location? Those two huge silo type structures in the background must be a clue . . .

[Jim Courtney]

Speaking of C&S 70, here is a Gibson photograph from September of 1937, with C&S 70 loading sheep at the Georgetown stock pens, by the lake just east of town:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/265267067468?hash=item3dc3263a4c:g:mOQAAOSwpnZhFvri

[Jim Courtney]

Should anyone wish to have a contact print of the photo that Darel used as the header on the C&Sn3 blog site, it is available on eBay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/174967182839?hash=item28bcdb55f7:g:3F0AAOSwpOthXdQl




It is a bit pricey at $265.00.  If anyone here just has to add it to their collection, I would be happy to pay for a high-res scan, to help defray the cost.

BTW, two of the people are identified as "Charles V. Jackson, telegrapher" (to left of C&S 43), and his wife, "Mrs. Esther Jackson", standing in front of the engine house doorway, with the tall white hat. Presumably the couple lived in the Dickey depot. The fireman or hostler, sitting on 43's pilot, is unidentified.

In reference to my way back post  ....

This particular post of mine(and some others) has become completely worthless; once Ebay takes the image down, so snag a copy for posterity as well as posting the link.

A vintage c.1884 view of Colorado Central number 10, while on service out of Boulder, location noted as Sunset:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/185528671314?hash=item2b325edc52:g:QN4AAOSwEH5i7trg





Isn't that Sam Speas in the tender gangway, early in his career, as fireman?

[Dave Eggleston]

Yes, it is Sam in the gangway. It is most likely Sunset, based on the background.
