Glad you enjoyed it Mike and it's a nice stop and a bit of a hidden gem of a place on mining that if you are into this area (as we are) is worth the stop. If time allows take the guided trip as they do try to operate as much of the equipment as they can but you can walk around the place with or without a guide if pressed for time.

Is the Rio Grande boxcar coupled to the Daylight 10400, perhaps the other side of the DF boxcar in the 4/27 post that has no railroad reporting marks or logo?
I will check if I have another photograph from another angle...
I also found I missed posting some of the photos from the Western Museum of Mining and Industry. You can check out the rest at:
