In this Dick Harrison photo, we see railroaders unloading coal at Cumbres Pass on the DRGW. I assume this coal is for heating the depot and section house. Apprently this drop bottom gondola had not provision for opening doors individually, so the unloading crew has propped the other doors up. The scan is from the SVRR Archive.
