Of the Georgetown Loop in 1939. Do you suppose that any of these workers lived to see it rebuilt?

And here is a picture of 71 in those happier times in Central City. But the photo was taken in winter and I had the feeling things were winding down. Behind the combine is the Shay Nr 14. In the photo of the Shay, you can see the open smoke box of a third engine I didn't record the ID of.

I wonder if that is one of the two 2-8-0's from Guatemala Railway Co?
