Thanks, Rick and Mike. This is most helpful information.

For those following along, the 1922 timetable referenced is reprinted in the rear of Klinger's "C&S High Line Memories and Then Some." The time table features a host of nuggets in addition to the operating tips noted by Rick. It also indicates the capacity of sidings (500 cars at Como, 188 at Dickey, 45 at Dillon and 717 at Leadville), facilies (coal, water, wye, ticket office), office hours and distance to Denver. Also of note, most locations are noted as flag stops (f) as opposed to time stops (Como, Boreas, Breck, Dickey. Kokomo, Climax, Leadville). Time stops do not appear to always coincide with water stops.

I think it would be most useful if someone would be willing to scan a C&S employee timetable, along with the rules and tonnage ratings, and post it in the 'files' section for our mutual reference.
