Jim, I'm not surprised those reside in Detroit--you have to look beyond local archives in these hunts. A photo of the Monterey & Salinas Valley in 1876, only the third of the railroad found, and amazingly all three part of the same panorama, was held by the New York Public Library 2400 miles away from it's location, and only found in about ten years ago.

Matt has been scouring archives country-wide over the past couple of years and is amassing a large collection of railroad photos, papers, and artifacts, not just from Colorado. He has the time, desire and focus to chase this.
