This weeks eBay purchase, another Ducca contact print postcard, scanned at 1200 dbi:
This is a companion to the photo posted above of C&S 5 and the daily "up train" from Denver, laying over at the wye at Silver Plume. The picnic grounds and C&S Pavilion, as well as the Burleigh Tunnel clock tower depot for the mine train ride are all clearly visible.
It looks like some other folks in touring cars have also stopped to dine as well. A couple of people are standing at the small concession shed just to the left of number 5 and train--buying tickets for the mine train ride or perhaps ice cream or snow cones??
The obnoxious stuffed chicken hasn't arrived on the scene as yet.
As this is the summer of 1926, the train won't be coming here much longer . . .
