Como got one of the old gondolas from the Georgetown Loop on August 3. The Loop operation had labeled it for the Georgetown, Breckenridge, and Leadville. I recall riding in this gondola or another like it on one of my trips on the Loop over 15 or so years ago. I don't know its origin. My guess is that it was a D&RGW car, as the Loop had lots of Rio Grande equipment. I don't know if this came directly from the Georgetown Loop or if it was moved off the property in 2005 when management changed. If I recall, much of the equipment owned by the Ashbys went to the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden.
