I can't provide much additional info here. Pop hired out on the Rio Grande in 1937, (June, I think) and worked on the extra board until about 1939 or 1940 when he settled in and pretty well stayed in either Malta or Leadville until about 1947. I'm not sure when this image was made, the 1941 date was just a guess on my part based upon some other details from that era in my family. In 1941 though, I was (maybe) just a gleam in my dad's eye. I was raised on Tennessee Pass from June 1950 through June 1957, my dad held the agency at TP, and we lived in the railroad's apartments that were opposite the depot and just a bit up on the hillside. I lived in very close proximity to the last of standard gauge steam on TP, and that's where most of my interest is today. I'm not nearly as much into narrow gauge as most of y'all on this forum are. Dad took a few narrow gauge pictures however, all of them at Salida, and I'll post some of them here every now and then if y'all are interested in them, which I'd assume that you are. As for higher resolution scans, I will have to hunt for the narrow gauge negs, my life is in upheaval right now due to various rhings, but hopefully within the next few months...
