Re: Pitken vs Lake City branches, T-12's

I just received some information from Jerry Day on snow fighting trains on the Pitkin branch at the end. This is info provided to him by J. Blouch. It is interesting in that it shows trains on Pitkin branch into early 1933, and it shows locomotives other than C-16's, including C-18, C-19 and yes, a T-12 168. With Jerry's permission, here it is--
