    A new page on my web site.

    From the home page of my site, just click on "TOUR" and scroll down to the link... You won't see this stuff anywhere else. Enjoy!

    Good stuff. Fun to see what engines were moving around at the time--FT diesels, 2-6-6-0's, 4-8-2's, 2-8-8-2's, and many more. Thanks for sharing!

    How did you like the handwriting on that Granby order? You won't see penmanship like that these slobby days.

    Or that schedule order from Zuni. Rare, rare, rare! Thanks to Mark Watson for stitching it together so nicely for me.

    IIRC, Zuni is near Arvada--those names are long gone to history. Zuni, Arena, Arrow, Corona.....

    I'd guess it was really close to Arvada. I wonder if a person had a street map, if there might be a roadway of some sort still carrying such a name?

    The D&SL station names are really interesting. So many were shortened up. Plain for Plainview. Rollins for Rollinsville. Sulphur from Hot Sulphur Springs. Then you have Cliff- Which seems to have a confused root with spellings over the years of Pine Cliff, Pinecliff and Pinecliffe. And...?
