Re: Silverton Northern engine house

The SN engine house got "high jacked" from the railroad committee of the historical society some years back by the mining committee to store all their mining equipment, and at last we are regaining the use of "our" building. And we always intended that it be used for railroad purposes, like car restoration, and in our wildest dreams, there was an engine. And even though the 315 is not ours by any stretch, it is still very gratifying to see the 315 take up residence in our structure. We had acquired track parts over the years, primarily from the Sunnyside mine and from the Ridgway branch abandonment. We have a 65# frog and a switch stand from the Ridgway wye and it has all been sitting here waiting for something to jell.
