Power was D&RGW 5574/5553/5573/BN(CBQ)3013 Date: 09/14/14 09:19 Re: Horse Creek area redux: D&RGW F's on the C&S Author: nicknack Awesome.

the C&S routinely leased power. But in April? Well, I don't know much about the harvesting of sugar beets, that's for sure. Isn't the Burlington painted unit a GP40?? From what I can tell, it sure looks like it. Thanks for psoting!

later years. Out Date: 09/14/14 12:02 Re: Horse Creek area redux: D&RGW F's on the C&S Author: TCnR Could the hoppers have ore from the mine at Guernsey? When did it close?
