Steep grades on the Leavick Branch according to MC Poor; 4.7%, 5.8%, 7.0% and 11.8%.

The same photo is shown on page 150 in the Pictorial Supplement to D.S.P.&P. as #115
of the Denver, Leadville & Gunnison. Also listed by MC Poor as #115 of the D.S.P.&P.,
later as C&S #10 and scrapped in 1934.

The longest mining cable tramway (11,000') in Colorado for ore transport was from the
higher Hilltop Mine down to Leavick.
