Two great photos, Chris

The pilot view of C&S 62 must be in its last couple of years, prior to its scrapping in December of 1927. This is the only photo that I've seen where the wooden pilot has been replaced by a boiler tube pilot. The earliest dated photo of a boiler tube pilot on a C&S NG engine that I've seen is the Otto Perry photo of C&S 7, from the summer of 1925.

C&S 62 appears to be powering an excursion to Silver Plume. After the Romley branch was abandoned, occasional Clear Creek excursions seem to be 62's only work.
