Bill: 

Louis is right, it is indeed Creston.  Here's a view of it being demolished four years later.  There was an identical chute at Hastings, Neb., and portions of it stood into the 1980s.

It's snowing like crazy in the Denver area right now.  We've got about 4 inches on the west side in Arvada.

I am scanning some old slides and came across the attached view. The locomotive is 5632 and the photo was taken on June 7, 1959. The train is westbound and had departed from Chicago the previous evening. This was the first Illini Railroad Club annual excursion from Chicago to Colorado and the D&RGW narrow gauge. I believe this photo  was taken in western Iowa. Can anybody identify this location?
