Brian Binkley	General	These Geeps are on the former narrow gauge mainline from Salida, over Marshall Pass to Gunnison, and on to Montrose. By the time this photo was taken, the narrow gauge line over Marshall Pass was removed to Poncha Junction and the former main was now a standard gauge branch line known as the Monarch Branch serving the CF&I mine at Monarch. The branch was removed in the 80s or 90s.	10/20/2010 9:15:57 PM

Brian Binkley	General	Also, the bridge in the background was originally a narrow gauge bridge that was standard gauged when the line was converted to a branch. The bridge is no longer there either.	10/20/2010 9:17:30 PM
