Photo of South Park Train at Baker's Tank
Author: RuleG

The photos posted a few days ago by closetfoamer of his drive over Boreas Pass inspired me to check into the Denver South Park & Pacific on the Internet. The following is a link to an 1884 photo of a DSP & P train at Baker's Tank.

That looks like a Mason Bogie. DSP&P had a few of them.

That's the small, conical roofed tank that appears in the handful of photos of Baker's Tank in service that I've seen. Anyone know of photos showing the current, larger, flat-top tank in service?
