Other Kokomo Photos:



The full version of the photo Chris posted, with the D&RG water tank to the right (inside the wye), before the track turns back to the left, to the other side of the valley. The original "Kokomo" is on the far hillside--it later burned down in 1881, moving down the hillside and absorbing its Siamese twin, Recen, with both communities known collectively as "Kokomo" thereafter.



Looking north, down valley, from the hillside above Recen/Kokomo.  Visible at left is the top of the D&RG tank, the D&RG yard and depot.  In the distance on the right, along the C&S grade, is likely the Kokomo water tank (the red dot on Todd's map, as the C&S grade crossed Clinton Gulch).



Looking west, down on the first trestle crossing over the D&RG.  To the right (out of view) is a cut later covered by a snow shed.  To the left (out of view), the north switch of the C&S siding would have been located.  The White Quail Mill (on Todd's map) looks to be in ruins.  I believe that the C&S depot in its downtown location is just visible at the right edge of the frame, just above the dark house with light roof.
