All,
I have been told that the Henderson Mine or Climax Molybdeum at Empire CO had a 3 foot gauge railroad prior to the conveyor belt system that they use today and that they had a 3 foot gauge tamper for maintaining the line. Does anybody know if this machine still exists? If so, where is it now?
This info is being passed on to a preservation group that is need of a tamper.
Thanks
J.
