Orient Mine Operations

Gang,

A friend is researching and writing a history of the D&RGW's Orient branch from Villa Grove to the Orient iron mine. In 1960, John Maxwell hiked up there and took a photo of a 2000 series box car body that had been the depot at one time and then the CF&I watchman's bunk house. He was planning to purchase a print from Bruce Maxell when Bruce passed away before the order could be submitted.

If anyone has a print of this photo, he would like to purchase it or borrow it for scanning. He had communicated with Bruce about the photo and he had no objections to the use of it in the history.

Please contact me via PM.

Thanks

William
