Re: Silverton -1901- Is this before the SN diamond and bridge?

January 10, 2010 08:48AM
Another question about the 1901 photos. I can not see the Silverton Northern RR crossing diamond over the D&RG or any bridge of the SN over Cement Creek or any track in Cement Street. This must have been a later alignment to get away from paying for and using the D&RG in the terminal. The diamond and bridge clearly shows up on page 278 in the Railbow Route book in the 1911 or 1912 photo.

I first visited Silverton in 1960 and again in 1962 and in one of those years I took a photo of the crossing diamond laying on the north river bank of Cement Creek. I had not known that the track layout involved a crossing diamond at that time and saw the rails in the river to be of interest. What ever happend to it? Maybe it is still in the river?

Many thanks to Max Cox for posting this link to the interesting photo.
