Sargent Coal Trestle
| September 08, 2008 09:37AM |
I'm building an HOn3 model of the coal trestle and bins at Sargent Co, and am looking for photos of the coal chute and door opening mechanism. I have the Maxwell D&RGW drawings but they don't match what I can make out from my collection of reference books. I have collected most all of the books that have 3rd division photos, but none have the clarity that I need. Does anyone have unpublished photos or a book reference where I could find this information.
The attached photo was taken by me in 1966 on my first trip out west to see the D&RGW operation. Seeing Sargent then as a ghost town made me want to recreate it some 40 years later
