C&S Photos on eBay.

[Jim Courtney]

There is a Ducca Postcard on eBay that I don't recall seeing before, of C&S 5 and the daily passenger to Denver crossing the High Bridge on the Loop.

I believe it is a companion to this view at Silver Plume for lunch break:

I wonder if they tore down the structures or just burned them. Great shots. Thanks.

Note the D&RGW yards to the right, with mixture of standard and narrow gauge freight cars and a locomotive hiding beyond, likely one of the big 2-8-0s.

[Jim Courtney]

An interesting image that I grabbed last night--already sold and disappeared:





Imagine being a passenger, sitting in the coach, after the locomotives and train crew abandoned you there, to go ahead and buck snow.  What if they don't come back??

Wonder who the photographer was . . .

[Jeff Young]

Nice find, Jim.

[Southpark]

In reply to Jim Courtney's post on the E-bay photo of 4/9/36 of bucking snow.  On 4/9/36 Brownie Anderson was engineer on #6, extra 6-71-72 Leadville-Como, can't read, looks like 6:45am-7:30pm, pay 16.66, Sanchez? can't read other crew names.  On 4/10/36 on #72, extra 72-6-75 Como-Leadville 8:50am-10:30pm $16.44.  
As it was in the old days.  Tom Klinger

[Todd Hackett]

The whites were pretty much blown out, and the shadows were similarly lacking in detail. I was able to pull a little bit of detail out of the shadowed end platform of the closest car - enough to make out the door.

[Jim Courtney]

Several photos from someone's old C&S NG album posted, a few I have not seen, including this side view of C&S caboose 1008 in Leadville:

I also noted this good side view of C&S Rhode Island #58, waiting for use on the scrapping train:




Pop Quiz:  What is missing from locomotive number 58???

I'm sure a lot of things are missing, but the most obvious to me is the main rod. I'm sure it's a lot easier to push around with those off.

For towing Dead(engine in train).  
Just remember to tie those Main Rods down on the running boards, as they have a tendency to fly off at speeds over 45mph. Ask me how I know.

This stereo card recently listed on eBay:

The label at the bottom of the left hand view reads "Brownsville Mining Camp on the C.C. Ry."

Here is a copy that I played with, to try to bring out the detail:




I don't recall a Brownsville on the Clear Creek line, can someone locate it for me?  Chris?

[Chris Walker]

Just above Silver Plume on the Nth side, place was partially buried in a landslide, Jim.  
Look for Brown Gulch.

EDIT: I didn't have time earlier on today, to look for you.... It's in the DPL as X-7235.
there is a single view also  
Denver Public Library Call Number X-19163


Both images predate the G.B.&L.

[Todd Hackett]

That stereo view comes up from time to time. Here's how my copy looks.

[Jim Courtney]

Thanks for the info on Brownsville, Chris and Todd!

Just posted this evening is the best photo yet of an oil burning rebuilt Cooke 2-6-0, c1902-1903:

Beautiful "Columbine" lettering scheme and note the outside brake beams on the tender trucks. Any guesses as to location??

[Chris Walker]

No guessing Jim: on the East leg of the Wye, at Silver Plume.   Great photo.

[Mike Trent]

Great picture. #7 has been rebuilt with its new boiler. and has an oil bunker here, as was often done in Summer Tourist service during those years. Probably Aluminum lettering.

[Chris Walker]

Wasn't the interwined logo used only briefly?

[Mike Trent]

Right. Early 1900's. #7 was the first engine out of the Como Shop in C&S livery in 1899, and was reboilered in July, 1902 obviously in this livery.
