"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!"
