Como May 15 - Part 2
| May 17, 2020 01:18PM |
Continuing on...
After placing the 20-Ton in the roundhouse, D&RGW gondola 1646 was brought down to the end of the "Gunnison Main" to be loaded onto the truck that the 20-Ton had just been unloaded from. (more on 1646 in another post)
After D&RGW 1646 departed, flatcar 06770 was moved into position to be loaded with rail. Plans for this year include extending the track past the hotel so we figured we would get at least some rail down there while we could.
The view from flatcar 06770 as the first revenue freight train of 2020 moves through the Como yards
06770 set out near the depot on the "Gunnison Main"
After setting out 06770, Plymouth No. 5 continued on its last move in Como, to the south end of the "Gunnison Main" where it would be loaded onto a truck the next day and leave Como for good.
yet more to come...
