Pictures shown in the Mineral Belt 3 up Clear Creek and taken on 30th April '41 show a 2 Loco train at Elk siding, the #7111 tanks-on-Flat is 2 cars behind the rear-end helper, other photos show it apparently being left on the siding. Digerness says in his caption that on pg345 they were gathering up cars but the photo's really suggest a different story.
Could this tankcar be for the roading contractors fuel supply?
Pity the quality of the Mineral Belt 3 picture wasn't better to have made out that truck by the Bridge, thanks Doug.
Well yes you did Chris. But that was a different time, and different thread that had changed names a few times. Please go back and solve it again there Lol!
If you search "highway 6 construction" on DPL, a number of tunnel photos come up.
