I caught #638's run out to the CRRM in October of 1961, Mike -
I don't remember the exact date. There was at least one run-by on the way out west:
The Coors brewery was a LOT smaller sixty-plus years ago; it barely shows through the trees at the far right:
In May of 1962 #638 ran on a couple of C&S branch lines still serving local industries in Denver. IIRC, we first went out east-southeast:
. . . and then south-southwest:
That brick chimney is pretty distinctive — anyone know if it's still standing?
