Re: curve and grading rules on the D&RGW and other Colorado NG

Thanks Herb,
I hadn't ever seen a picture of a coaling trestle at Durango, early photos show a large structure that resembled a shed-roofed coaling platform, then the later 1910-20's elevated coaling track that shows in the Ballough photo I mentioned, after which came the tall elevator filled tower.

I had rather hoped that you had a photo of an intermediate trestle chute that I didn't know about.

ps
And maybe, just maybe that would lead to a photo of the trestled chute at Gunnison, one structure that seems to have evaded all the printed archives so far.
