Can you not post the photos?  I, and many others, are not going to click on an unknown link such as this one.

Rathole,

The link is to the OGR Forum.  I don't want to post the photos in two different forums.  That is against the rules.

Drat! Missed it! But I will be visiting Como next month (last visit, 1971). Is the roundhouse ever open for viewing, other than for staged events?

Pretty amazing work!  Here is the depot back in 2004.  Nice to see the turntable all cleaned up too!
Did you drive up to Boreas pass?

mp51w,

No we didn't do the pass.  We did that a couple years ago.  This year we really wanted to see the roundhouse and station.  There were many people there.  It was extremely well done!

The restored Depot with track is surreal. Never would've thought I'd see that...

Amazing efforts by all those involved. Sure wish I lived closer and could lend a hand.

Jason,

I had especially wanted to see the depot too.  The historical society was able to stabilize just in time.  It was almost going to collapse but they saved it.  It is beautiful!
