Chris,

What a great topic! All the pictures and maps really bring it to life. I was up in Idaho Springs this past weekend and was looking around at this area. As expected, not much is left. the only real landmark is the Idaho Springs Machine Works building. I took a Google Maps image of the present lay of the land. The Machine Works building is circled in Red, the depot location is circled in Yellow, and the location of C&S #60 is circled in Green. I hope this will help others if they visit the area.

Compare this view to the image Chris posted above.

Going east most of the buildings were along the "narrow gauge alley"  The depot has been relocated south of town as a private residence.
Here it is in Google Earth- (cool gggllliitch on the truck in front when I did this- might be hard to steer)
