Carson & Colorado (SPNG) Then and Now #65
| December 20, 2014 09:48AM |
Here's a set of photos taken at Belleville. The subject is the wreck recovery train taking the hulks of engines from Montgomery Pass #8 and #5 back to Mina after their wreck in the basalt cut on July, 23 1923 (this date may be in error).
The "Then" photo was most likely taken a few days after the wreck. The "Now" photo was taken on Sept. 13, 2014. There was not much at Belleville in 1923 besides a water tank and depot. There's even less there now...
