Wherezit?

[Todd Hackett]

Here's another photo similar to John's, with a "now" version from 2011.

Old Roundhouse was gone after 1895, Sundance Colorado Central book pg 48/49.
I can't believe we were fouled by SG {:))  I had got to wondering if my eyes were deceiving me as to what appears to be D&RG on one of the cars.

[Robert McFarland]

Does anybody remember the construction article in Railroad Model Craftsman by the guy who built a model of the Golden roundhouse addition?

[Bill Uffelman]

Yes. My copy of the mag and extra material given me by Bill Schaumburg are in storage.

It looked like an old D&RG car to me as well Chris, The possibility exists. The 3' gauge was in place as well as the broad gauge, and interchange was known to happen. How did a D&RG 3' gauge get to Golden after the Joint line was broad gauged and the third rail removed?

How about on the C&S from Buena Vista or Leadville to Denver to Golden? The block lettering on the C&S cars would lead me to believe from Leadville.

Ummm..... because it's a broad gauge D&RG car.

[Rick Steele]

Perhaps, Daryl,

Your theory looks very practical. It looks like a broad gauge car simply because it's so much larger than the boxes in front of it. The cars either side look to be broad gauge as well, for the same reason.

That's what I get for not cross checking the photo before I open my big mouth.

If the photo was clearer we could get a number, but this looks more like a negative than a glass plate.

Size difference and the broad gauge locomotive on the same track in Todd's second clue.
It is a great shot showing allot of activity. Wish it was clearer too.

[Robert McFarland]

It appears that only the RUINS of  the roundhouse addition survives.The building doesn't seem to have a roof.

[Rick Steele]

I'm going to disagree with you on that one, Robert. The 70' addition, which is what survived after the UP tore down the original 60' roundhouse, has a flat roof. It does not look roofless to me.

The uniform lighter gray color is evident in the photo that Todd posted.

If you look at the very north stall, the stall immediately next to it has a door open and inside it is almost black, indicating that something is preventing sunlight from beaming through the door. Something like a roof. Sometimes these photos are tough to see, but even with my old eyes I can see that much.

Rick

[Robert McFarland]

Yeah.After I take a closer look I can see the vents on the roof.When was the Golden freight house built?

[Mike Keplinger]

Would any of you mind telling me what issue of R.M.C. the article about building the Golden Roundhouse appeared in?

[Bill Uffelman]

It was around 1985/1986 time frame as I recall.

Bill, could the article possibly been by Miles Hale?

[Robert McFarland]

Yes it was.It was one of a series he did about a layout called the "South Park Valley".

[Bill Uffelman]

That triggers my memory -- yes to both statements.

Thanks very much gents, I appreciate it.

[Jeff Ramsey]

I like this image from DPL that when zooms shows not only the freight depot but also broad gauge Colorado Central coach # 4, formerly the Abraham Lincoln funeral car which can be seen right above the stations ridge line to the right.
