Alex, thanks for that tidbit. I've been prowling the internet and so far can't find any photos of the 6111 marked up as BNSF, did find it in CS and BN paint tho...She sure did have one heck of a plow!

Did DRGW or SP power ever make it up to the mine on occasion?

Speaking of the Climax Branch and low nose units LC&S 1918 got a nose job in late '09 it looks like. I rode the train in late August '09 and it was still a high nose. Sad to see the high nose go away but glad the units are being maintained.
