These are photos of the various types of steam locomotives I found in the C&S yards in 1958 in Denver, most of them in placed the year before into retirement and awaiting scrapping. Pacific-type locomotive 374, pictured in the upper left, is missing her bell, appropriated during a midnight raid by a noted rail buff, was the only passenger-train locomotive left in Denver. Her sister 372, I had been told, was rusting away in the yards in Trinidad, Colorado, near the border with New Mexico. 2-8-0s 602 and 605 were assigned switching duties in Denver for the C&S and the AT&SF, which did not have its own facilities. The last photo on the left and the first three on the right show C&S 805, 808 and 809, just purchased from parent-company the CB&Q and renumbered into the 800 series: all but 808, at the top on the right, which kept it's original number of 5509 and was assigned to the scrap line instead of service.
