JP,

I think that was a different turntable bridge, and I thought it came from somewhere in or near Colorado Springs. The two turntable bridges from Denver were reconstructed (the two girders for each bridge attached to each other), and sat in the silver Plume yard area until construction started on the engine house, when Jerry Buckley was hired to clear out the area. He moved both bridges down to his powerplant site below the dam at Georgetown, and Bill Kazel eventually bought one and moved it to Como. I don't know what happened to the other. It was still there when Bill picked up the Como table. The one in Como is 50 feet long with a curved bottom, while the other was also 50 feet but with a pointed bottom.
