Where was the cat track first unloaded looks like somewhere near Toltec Gorge, could have been a dangerous outing. Wonder why they didn't use the rotary, was the snow too crusted and compact to utilize it's strength. Probably part of the reason the C&TS doesn't us the rotary every year to open the line. Some pretty cool photos.

Still a Student,

Dave
