Re: [CBQ] B&MR section house offered to us in Cheyenne

Hi there, yes the coach is mine too ...Car 57 but that and the caboose UP 2516 
are stored in a ICBM silo for the winter, the caboose appearing in time for 
depot days 2014 in May first time on show in 100 years, The section house I 
hope can be part of the new Miniature steam railway being built in Cheyenne and 
home for the caboose during the summer, but we may have to find a close by 
storage site for the section house first.

I  recall  a  C&S  coach  being  restored  in  the  Cheyenne  area,  maybe  the 
 building  could  share  the  locatiin,   Moving wouldn't be cheap.. But,  
maybe  a  donation  of  the  move  could  be  worked  out.          l

Hi to all

We have had the offer of a free railroad section house if we can move it asap, 
it has long been thought that this building that stood immediately to the west 
of the B&MR/CBQ roundhouse on 16th street opposite Big Boy was a section house 
and it shows up in some of the earliest distant photos of Cheyenne too. We 
managed to gain entry today and its a basically 3 room house with a small 
kitchen area, under the brick tar paper is freight car red siding. We are 99% 
certain of its ancestry and would like to move it to safety to avoid 
demolition. If anyone knows of any picture of the Cheyenne 1887 CBQ roundhouse 
or buildings we would love to hear from you we know of an engraving and that's 
all. As of yet we don't have a storage location or moving price. in the B&W 
photos of Cheyenne around 1900 the roundhouse is way in the background with the 
house to its right.
