Ahem...

In the fine string documenting progress by Mike Trent about the addition of ground cover to his recreation of Dickey, the conversation has strayed to an in-depth discussion of the disposition of the Dickey Engine House and the plausible notion that the parts were moved to Como (I am not joking) to become the last wood addition to the Como roundhouse (which ultimately burned in the 30s).

As per usual, both Mike and Jim are peppering their respective posts with EXCELLENT illustrations, often enlarged, showing scads of cool details. These include some nice UP-era way cars, and if my eyes do not deceive, the derrick! Plus details of operations when Boreas Pass was closed in the 1910s and an image purported to be of the passenger train operated between Leadville-Dickey-Dillon-Dickey-Breck.

All great stuff, and absolutely lost to the rest of us in a year because it is buried under, "Dickey Grond Cover."

For the love of GOD, please move the conversation over here.
