Pine

[Doug Heitkamp]

So, this afternoon the wife and I took a detour instead of going to Railroad Days in Como. We decided to follow the Platte and swing by Pine, Buffalo, and parts beyond. In Pine, we stopped at the Pine Emporium (Antique/Thrift/Gift Shop) and had a nice talk with the owner. Before you know it we were talking railroad things and I was able to get copies of the following pictures. Enjoy!

Very cool photos Doug.  Thanks for posting those.

Very cool photos!  Does anyone know where the new Pine gondola is on display relative to the locations in the photos?

The Gondolas are on the west end of town, right next to the road. You can’t miss them. One is a D&RGW Drop Bottom gondola, the other is a typical D&RGW stake side gondola.

I didn't know they had two gondolas now.  Do you know when the second one came?

Re: Gondola's - I have no idea.
