Mike, this data is for the C&S narrow gauge after 1910, correct?

I believe prior to that date Baldwin coal was still extensively shipped both to consignees of, and for use by, the narrow gauge, to the extent that if early winter's first seasonal tunnel blockades stranded cars of Baldwin coal in Gunnison or Baldwin the cars were moved over Marshall Pass, in D&RG trains in C&S cars.

Or was the Baldwin traffic winding down prior to 1910?

And on the cost, there are records that on the DL&G a train of 14 coal cars crossingAlpine to Como the 3-4 engines would consume something like a car + of the load.
