Jim, thanks for reposting the pictures and a few new ones too.  Keith goaded me into making the change to a separate thread. My reply to Norm Acker's post about the cast coal gates missed the move. Thanks, Norm!  

I have never seen a photograph of #76 with a plow. Oddly enough, Doug Schnarbush went to work on the West End out of Como in 1927 and worked all the way to abandonment in 1937. He fired #71 many times in those days. Doug moved his family to Denver soon after the line shut down. He said the first time he ever saw #71 without a plow was when he took his family up to Central City and saw the engine on display up there. So it ran with it's plow year round.
