The Denver-Leadville freights ran to Como from Denver and Leadville on the same days, at least twice a week.  That could tie up as many as 8 locomotives for four days just on those four trains. With one engine on the passenger, and another set out in Como for emergency at Como, that required 10 engines for four days. That was a pretty big bite out of the roster. But they managed to run West of Golden twice a week.
