I have to say, Chris, you have certainly brought Idaho Springs to a better level of understanding. If someone wanted to do a TOC (or nearly any period of) of Gritty Switching Layout Idaho Springs would certainly be a worthy subject.

The second photo seems to date from around 1905. When I poll up the link none of the DPL data comes up - not that it matters. In the lower right is what appears to be a Type I coal car built in 1902. It looks to have knuckle couplers (I don't think the Type I cars ever had anything but). I don't see any cars with the Block lettering though there aren't very many cars visible to begin with. If you hang out at the State Ore Sampling Co. you will see at least a couple of "teams" and a few dogies... Lots of truly interesting  - eclectic - detail. Wow!
