Mark,
I do not know where the quarry is. We have a division meeting here in Sheridan
the first Saturday of September. Stop by: 1027 Main street (1 block north of
the stop light on 5th street) Taylor School Building in the basement. Go to
the south door and down stairs. We have a 30 X35 layout of the Sheridan area
and run CB&Q along with some C&NW (1 member) also working on a narrow gauge
section.

Thanks, guys.
Any idea where the quarry was (is), Harold? I'll be in Montana /
Wyoming / Colorado in late August - early September.

bought. It is granite but very light shot with a light gray .
