[CBQ] Re: C&S branch lines in southeast Colorado and northern New Mexico

["Jonathan Harris" <jonathanharris@earthlink.net>]

"Poor quality" in terms of image resolution, maybe, but not in terms of 
historical information. Thank you again! 

Pretty desolate places, these company coal towns ? reminds me a bit of images 
from the Burlington Bulletin article on the Cambria branch. 

The C&S depot at Berwin is light with dark trim; not sure about the one at 
Hastings (image looking NE) ? is it the building with the pagoda overhang 
closer to the viewer, or the darker one further down the line, closer to the 
mouth of the canyon? And in the other Hastings photo (looking North), what is 
the huge building with all the stacks? And why did they need an aerial tramway?
