This was the base of the stairs up to the platform - roughly where the present loading platform is located. Taken off-season in April 1979.
This was the platform on September 24, 1983 as the Boulder Model Railroad Club volunteers were helping to extend track down to the high bridge. L-R Tom Johnson (blue shirt), Bill Lund, Ken Gilpin, Doug Geiger (orange hat behind Ken), Steve Matthews.
Looking from the platform location toward the high bridge as Doug Geiger and Steve Matthews move a tie. Bill Farquhar is behind them supervising (or staring at the sun - it's hard to tell which). Mike Trent (light blue shirt) is in the background, and I think that's Erick Nelson in the burgundy t-shirt.
Here's how the high bridge was looking that day:
