Ice train wreck above Minturn. Ice and debris scattered on the hillside down to the Eagle River. Photo is labeled 1918. Men are examining the wreckage.
Another Mallet locomotive at Minturn. Anatole Mallet, a Swiss engineer, patented the compound engine which was housed under one locomotive frame having six or more sets of axles. The rear set of driving wheels were fixed in the main frame of the locomotive. The extra pull generated made the locomotive useful in mountainous regions but slower on flat terrain.
Group photo at the Minturn train depot ca.1925. The engine is #3715, A.T.&S.F. The railroad was a large part of the Minturn economy in the 1920s and 30s.
