Now that you mentioned it Chris, what about the switch stand at the interpretive Kenosha Hill reconstruction trackage? WRONG! I am cursed to be rivet counter. I Think someone has recreated a DSP&P harp switch stand pattern that could be cast. Does anyone know who and where or cares who has that pattern? I think the few Elliott Stands would go to good use in a bit of the soon to be reconstructed Como yard trackage. Who also thinks so?
Below is the one and only C&S NG split point switch that I have noticed, between the mainlines to Como-Denver-Gunnison to Como-Leadville. All other C&S switches I have seen were stub.
Never stride for a perfect old railroad world....
