Re: NNG - Minturn Colorado Depot Demolished

I photographed the pass and Minturn from the early 70s until the UP destroyed it. All photos are slides, 35mm and medium format negs and I have scanned only a few. Now that I have finished the K-36 book, I should have time to start scanning them Got a GP40 cab ride in a six unit helper set in 1975 but was at night so no photos. I think the pass was the most awesome standard gauge line in the USA, so sad to see it rusting away.
