Platte Canyon Then and Now Fade - 1929-2011

Kurt Maechner
I found this very well done fade from a 2011 photo on the grounds of Platte Canyon High School to a 1929 photo of a doubleheader C&S freight.  Does anyone know what the gated area is in the 2011 photo?

It is where their sports fields were before the new complex was built, do not know what it is used for now.

Looks like a train of box cars for the ice harvest at Maddox.  Notice the caboose sandwiched between the double header and the box cars, the brakeman atop one car suggests they are switching cars.

Wonder where the engines were turned -- Pine or Grant?

  Why is the human paradigm so accepting of the fact that we
crap where we sleep ?  What a great illustration of how we
turn gold bars into solid turds.
