Let's get this rolling...
Doesn't look like much...an old, rusty pipe with water flowing out of it. You have to know the history a little bit to understand.
Basically, that water has been flowing since 1882 when the Denver, South Park & Pacific reached Woodstock following completion of the Alpine Tunnel.
Unforetunately, a less fatal disaster struck this area when a massive slide took out part of the old line across the Palisades several years back. This isolated the restorations around the west portal of the Alpine Tunnel up above Woodstock, but you should be still able to drive up to see the water flowing, clean and cold, from what was the feed line for the water facilities at Woodstock.
Here's what's hard to see anymore without a very long hike in.
The station.
An old "harp" type switchstand that is part of the restored track.The outside turntable site.Two views of the enginehouse ruins, where another turntable was inside, along with a water tank.View from above the caved-in portal looking towards the station area.

This week I finshed another building for Boothbay Railway Village, except for the sign. Casco Machine Tool Co is a machine shop with a detailed and lighted top floor. It goes between the feed store and ice plant on the right side of the layout.

More strange happenings, pictures were there earlier, now it's links, which I am able to open, but it's to his entire Flicker account, and I only scrolled through page, and didn't see the pictures he had posted.

I believe I have fixed it, still learning google photos, have to link in a specific way
Mike, Thanks for getting the WPF rolling and the interesting photos. Much can be garnered from prototype photos, scenery, structures, track, weathering, etc. Wonder how much effort it takes to throw those old "harp" stands?
Thanks to all the contributors and have a good weekend, regards, Peter
I light week this weekend in Weekend Photo Fun!
.
Still lots of great shares everyone. I have been travelling around Chicago on an unplanned trip into the cold. This is the reason I have nothing to share this week.
I will be back in the fold next weekend.
