A Rescue Job
1980s-1990s
The book Georgetown and the Loop commented,"Thanks to the efforts of Tom Young, the Colorado and Southern four-wheeled caboose at Silver Plume has been undergoing restoration from its deplorable condition of the 1950s. The north side of the little crummy has taken on the aspects of near-mint condition; work on the south side is progressing nicely. -- P.R. Griswold Photo."
Above photo from Up Clear Creek on the Narrow Gauge, 1990.
Below are photos I took during two early 1990s trips to Colorado. Notice that by this time the "C&S" has been removed and "1006" has been repositioned. I am not sure if this was done by someone else or simply a later change done by Tom Young after the above photo was taken. The boards lying around the caboose suggest some type of activity.
I assume that it was during this restoration period that one side received the round herald and the other side was painted with the previous C&S lettering style.
