Derrell and Rick hit the nail on the head.

We all tend to think of the narrow gauge as being a canyon serpent, sure there is plenty of that from Floyd on down to Golden or a mountain pass mauler, not a heavily populated urban back-alley dweller more suited to "back East" and the wide gauge.   Blackhawk and Idaho are inconcruous with our preconceived notions, "gritty" as Darrell likes to say.  Harry Brunk obviously recognised this years ago but he was severely constrained by the expansiveness of I.S. The amount of switching possibilities in I.S. are tremendous as the last "Mills" episode will show.  
   

I often find looking hard into these views, they may seem to be irrelevant but they contain subtle clues to our questions, I have alluded to this a number of times in my posts hoping you the reader, will jump on in and play "Spot the Twist".  There have been a couple in this post, any takers?

Stay tuned, there are a couple of surprises and a reaffirmation of beliefs, these things take awhile to lay out and correlate, given just as soon as one thinks it is complete, another detail pops out requiring a rethink.  e.g. the Bertha and Humphrey had very similar outlines just to throw the curve ball.

When I put in these links to the DPL, they go to the full-browser, at the top right there is a"close x" button, ckick that will lead you back to the Item Description Data.
