Hi Mike,
I'd be interested in hearing more about using a missile silo to store
rail cars. Most of the ones I have been around in Northern Wyoming and
South Dakota have almost nothing above ground.
Your new building fit very nicely next to my 1895 T&P Roanoke, TX
section house, but it's a little far from Cheyenne.
Good luck,

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.
