Shop forces are busy preparing motive power for the days line-up.  RGS 20, 25 and 42 occupy the first three stall of the roundhouse while Goose #7 and another unidentified Goose occupy the remaining two stalls.  K-27 #461 is sitting on the turntable.

 
 

Vance Junction, milepost 37.8 was the junction point where the Telluride Branch left the mainline.  There were two long passing sidings and a spur with a coal trestle and Burnett & Clifton coal chutes  for fueling locomotives.
