Interesting picture. This is the last Passenger Train to Leadville. 4/10/37. #60 and the Boxcar have been taken off at Como and #9 and a flanger, which is 015, has been put on the train. It looks to me as though the right side blade has hit a rock at some point and is somewhat bent, but still operational. Flangers lived a tough life. The  crew, including Conductor Tom St.John, appears to be watching as the air hose is stubbornly connected to the train. Curley Colligan waits in the cab.

Mal Ferrell, in C&Sng, does not have a picture of this, but does mention that #9 and a flanger were added to the train at Como. And here it is. Thanks, Chris. Another bit of history for the archives.
