Actually, there were two trees identified as the "Jukes tree", the famous one near the bridge, and another one farther up the line that for years was erroniously identified as the same tree. Pictures of this tree can be seen in the Colorado Rail Annual #9 on page 121, and Beebe & Cleggs' "Narrow Gauge in the Rockies" on page 58. As I understand it, this tree is long gone, though you might still find evidence of it's stump.

Regards,
Donald Foster
