As Kevin says, the location is a guess. I wasn't around in the "20's,'30's, & '40's to have seen all the sites. C&H took over alot of property with the 1923 consolidation. This included the purchase of the Mineral Range 2-8-0's and a number of steel rockcars. The steel cars wouldn't fit under the Redjacket shafthouse chutes so the cars were operated in what was Mineral Range territory. The appearance of the steel cars in the train and lack of large buildings in the background eliminates most locations in Calumet. But there isn't any conclusive landmarks appearing in the photo, so I made the guess that it had to be up on the North end with the Alloues yards being the place where tracks converged from several directions. If there is someone out there with more accurate information, please write in - we would all like to know.

I would tend to agree from just the track direction. I think this track went over to where the Kingston Mine was located, then turned south on the Traprock Valley line, I rode it with an ATV last year, I notice what looks like a water tower on the very right side of the photo. I know there is some kind of cement foundation around that area, its elevated above the track structure. Hoping to get up in May this year before things turn green, so I'll have to go back over here
