#60

#60 and Coach 70 were donated to whatever County Idaho Springs is the County Seat of as a trade-off for taxes due in 1941.
There are no known pictures of the equipment being moved up there, but it was hauled dead, same as #71, by #70 and #69 in early 1941.
There was never any intention that I have ever heard to take the equipment to Silver Plume. If there had, it would have had to be trucked from Idaho Springs, since rails were removed between Idaho Springs and Silver Plume in February, 1939. The Pictorial Suppliment has the earliest photograph of #60 on display I have ever seen, taken in May, 1941.
The story of a drunken train crew leaving the train in Idaho Springs has to be among the most stupid rubbish I have ever seen posted on this website. That is an insult to everyone who ever worked on the C&S. I'm not upset with you, Shane, for posting the story, I just think it's amazing how some of this stuff gets hatched. Holy cow.
Pictures taken of #71 and it's train in Blackhawk are dated April, 1941.
#60 was probably moved up to Idaho Springs early in 1941, and during the week, and was not announced in advance. That is why no one got any photographs. There are pictures, and even movies of #71's transfer. The usual suspects (Haley, Poor, & Kindig) weren't going to miss out on that one, too.
A last comment on #60's years in Idaho Springs. After the gift shop was built next to the train, the owner used to burn tires in the firebox for years running on the 4th of July to attract attention by having "smoke" pouring out of the stack. Without doubt, the crownsheet is ruined.
#60 was used as a switch engine in Leadville for many years, and was fitted with the snowplow and placed into regular service after scheduled servicing in 1936, about a year before the end of mainline operations. It is equally worn out as the others, if not more so.
