Good to see you here, Keith! I've always considered the Gilpin Tram to be a part of the C&S family!

I have my own backups, so all of the original photos and the text have survived. If there is interest in this group, I will continue to post Gilpin Tram stuff, and eventually recreate what was on FreeRails, with the benefit of adding new information I've come across in the past few years.  

By all means, pleas do! If you have any Gilpin drawings, Darel or Mike can add them to the files section as pdf's.

A quick question, we recently discussed this photo that showed up on eBay:



Doug Heitkamp identified the location as the train is moving down grade along Eureka Gulch in Central City (see: http://c-sng-discussion-forum.254.s1.nabble.com/C-amp-S-Photos-on-eBay-td8859i240.html#a18396).

What the heck are the two steel towers on either side of the Gilpin train??
