New cab doors for No. 60

I love getting updates on work on the C&S!  The Colorado & Southern Railway Society recently took a trip to No. 9 in Breckenridge to aid their work on No. 60.  Check out their photos here below and their Facebook page description:




 "In January 2016, members of the C&S Railway Society made a trip to Breckenridge to measure the cab doors and windows of C&S locomotive #9 on display in the High Line Railroad Park. With the help of Cindy Hintgen of the Breckenridge Heritage Alliance we were granted access to the cab of the #9. This was extremely helpful as we prepare to make new cab doors and windows for C&S locomotive #60 in Idaho Springs."







































"The first new replacement door for C&S locomotive #60 has been completed. This is one of the rear cab doors, which will be hinged to another identical piece to create a bifold style door. These doors are made from white oak and fitted together with mortise and tenon joints. Many thanks to our resident wood worker Leighton Moreland for all of his help in making this a reality!"
