Carson & Colorado - Southern Pacific Narrow Gauge
List of Structures

Cliff Mestel of Trout Creek Engineering, BK Enterprises, and Tru-Scale Models has started this listing of available information on Southern Pacific Narrow Gauge RR structures. It is still in the works, but if you have information to share, please send it on so the list is as complete as we can make it.

Cliff also has provided a listing of structures from the Carson & Colorado Valuation Sheets of 1917 and a listing of Trestles from 1917. One thing that Cliff has not been able to get information on is the square water tanks that were used on the C&C, what their size was and where they were. If you can help, again, let us know.
