Can I drink Scotch??
And here is a photo from "The Pictorial Supplement . . . " for ComoDepot:
The original Kenosha Depot, built by the South Park as the railroad was built across the pass . . .
This little depot was likely to accommodate the operator at Kenosha, to keep train orders flowing to the crews doubling both sides of the pass.
The view to the east is the same today, but every thing else has sure changed.
The photographer is standing about where today's gravel road (from the parking area on Hwy 285, to the campground parking area near the restored tail of the wye) crosses the old grade. Every time I visit Kenosha, I try to stand on this spot, squint my eyes and imagine the little depot still standing, with a couple of light engines waiting on the main, ready to return to Denver or Como . . .
