First up is a blank form 31 from the Denver and Salt Lake. The D&SL was merged into the D&RGW in 1947.

Next is an order written at Malta December 20, 1939 concerning extra 1188 running west drom Salida to Leadville. This order was written by Mr. jones, the Malta agent in 1939.

In 1939 and through the early forties, and maybe later too, #1188 was assigned as the Leadville engine. She switched the Leadville yards, and the ASARCO smelter at Stringtown which was between Leadville and Malta. She also took ore and etc to Malta and pulled the inbound freight to Leadville.

I couldn't find a picture of the 3601 in my files, but here's #3611 which is a sister engine and is in the same class as #3601. These are L131 2-8-8-2's.
