I found two Alex Martin photos of the Colorado Central train that was blown over near Georgetown in 1885 on Colorado Artifactual.

The first is a cabinet card showing the train on its side.

The other is a stereoview of the front of the engine.

The engine is CC14(C&S 12), Bagg-mail 3 or 5 (C&S 10 or 12), and it looks like coach DSP&P 3 (C&S 56) and a coach I can’t identify.
