Earl is correct. Another view here from the Denver Public Library Western Collection. 106 years after the photo was taken, the 168 is still around and the Gunnison Water Diversion Tunnel is still bringing water to the Uncompahgre Valley from Montrose to Delta. I wonder how much stuff that is being built today will be around 106 years from now--not much, I suspect.
