Re: Pitkin to Mt Princeton. DSPP, DL&G & C&S . Pitkin Mill

Murphy's Switch picture showing the bridge? I'm only aware of one photo and it doesn't show the trestle over Pomeroy Gulch. Do you mean later, when it had evolved into Romley after 1887?

We have the AFE authorizing the Hancock wye and it wasn't before 1902. The photo you're looking at could very likely be mis-dated. Not uncommon.

What you need to do is have it as it was in around 1898, a 14-coal car + combine + 4 engine train heading east from Pitkin, and program in the fact that most heavy freights in that direction were not completely under control of the crew upon exiting the Tunnel, running over speed on the downgrade and often not getting things under control until reaching Hancock. That hair-raising event would be something I'd actually try sim for.
