Greg,
"GB&L" stands for
Georgetown Breckenridge & Leadville
The Loop was rebuilt starting in 1973, with official revenue passenger trains starting in 1975. When you visited in 1981, you didn't get any shots of the High Bridge because it hadn't been rebuilt yet. The bridge was reconstructed starting in 1983, and finished in 1984. Incidently, that construction time frame is EXACTLY 100 years after the original Devil's Gate Viaduct was constructed. Kinda neat how that all worked out......
As a side note to what Mr. Steele stated, #40 & 44 where lettered "Colorado Central" while they were at the Central City operation, and stayed that way for a while at the Loop too, until Mr. Steele relettered them for the "GB&L"
