Re: C&S #60

I can tell you right now that this is not Forks Creek but Elk Creek, there is a iron bridge just out of sight to the right. The trestle in front of the water tank is a dead give away that this is Elk Creek. Also the water tank and pump house were on the other side of the tracks at Forks Creek. The building in the photo is the Elk Creek pump house.

You are correct, the story about #60 being left on the spot is also false, here it is after being prepared for display at the Colorado and Southern's 7th street shops in Denver in 1941. [digital.denverlibrary.org]
