This photo must have been not long after Mr. Bradshaw bought the railroad and junked those diamond stacks.... Date: 03/06/23 20:51 Re: DSNG 476 Author: callum_out Note also the quality right of way he was left with.

Date: 03/08/23 09:06 Re: DSNG 476 Author: randyr Thanks for posting the photo. My wife and I had ridden the Silverton the year before, the last year of D&RGW operation. And K28 476 pulled our train. I agree with Earl, a great historical shot of the early years of D&SNG operations. Here is a photo in roughly the same spot in May of 2020. K37 493 is hauling a modified flat/clearance car to check out the clearances for their new diesels up in the canyon. I believe the D&S put in the siding a few years back. Note the roadbed and track improvements. Thanks again for the photo.
