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:

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
