Oscar Perschbacher's adventures on the C&S
| April 07, 2024 01:13PM |
I learned some fun anecdotes from an old interview with C&S conductor Oscar Perschbacher. I summarized a few of them in this blog post. He worked the line over Boreas and on to Leadville. He also spent time at Alpine Tunnel and on the Clear Creek Line.
Enjoy,
Kurt
Perschbacher worked on the crew that built the two-story boarding house at Alpine Tunnel station.
