Really, this was taken just the other day at the Huckleberry RR in Michigan, but if you squint (the enginehouse is metal, not wood), it could almost pass for Montrose in the early 1950s: http://www.ngdiscussion.net/cgi-bin/NGD ... read=84992 |

Here are some a photos of the general area, though I couldn't find one of the 464 in the same position: 318 and 454 or 456, in 1953 (318 is going to the Narrow Gauge Motel here): http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?00401036+RR-1036 318 and its diesel replacement, in 1953: http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?00401782+RR-1782 605 and 340 in 1951: http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?00401721+RR-1721 318 in 1950: http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?00007486+OP-7486 317 in 1948 (parts of it are in today's 318) http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?00007483+OP-7483 452 in 1942: http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?00007554+OP-7554 315 (may be done next year) in 1940: http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?00007477+OP-7477 The 464 itself in 1940 (before the flying Rio Grande): http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?00007593+OP-7593 And the 315 again, in 1940: http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?00007478+OP-7478 The K27s were being used over Cerro Summit to the east, and south over the Rio Grande Southern. The 2-8-0s were used mostly on the Ouray Branch, which was too light for the 2-8-2s. Montrose had 3-railed trackage into 1953, when the Ouray Branch and RGS were removed, and the line standard gauged as far as Ridgway. The SG line was pulled up in the 1980s |
