Shay
#12 has just backed off the Devil's Gate bridge. Its heading downhill
to the loading platform.
This
30' Stock car has had an interesting modification. After decades of
service its still hauling cattle.
Wood
Caboose #0574 has been carefully restored.
Here
Shay #12 is backing its train down to the beginning of its run back
to Silver Plume. The train will start underneath Devil's Gate bridge
seen in the background.
As
the Shay started uphill, it was out of sight around the curve. But
you had no doubt it was working up the hill, the chuff of a three
cylinder engine is unmistakable. I was standing about six feet from
the track as it went by, you feel the heat coming off the boiler and
you feel the sound of each stroke pounding.
