Re: Fremont Pass Facilities

This is fascinating. The picture looks like it was pre-everything, the landscape is devoid of human debris. Apart from a car on the siding and the Enginehouse so I would not have questioned the "D&RG" label by Digerness.
Another thing is Rick Steele's building list notations are different from Jimmy Blouch's drawing in as much as the Shed is square and noted 60ft on the drawing yet supposedly contains a 50ft TT and is to be 2-stalls. I guess that in reality it was longer than the Drawing.
The drawing does confirm that there was no Depot on the D&RG, a N.G. Boxcar set off alongside the tracks was used. There is a photo taken from East of the C&S Wye early 1900's showing the boxcar Depot with orderboard and the D&RG tracks in Steve Voynick's "CLIMAX" mine book. I haven't seen that reproduced in any of the Railroad books on the DSP&P/DL&G/C&S.
