The badges are a typical set that a trainman would have had in the 1940s. The triangle badge was worn on the 8 point cap that was adopted in 1940 and was in use until 1952 when the wheel and wing badge was introduced. The shield badge was used as an employee pass to be shown to conductors and drivers when off duty. In the 1920s it was also worn on the uniform for a short time. The buttons are standard coat and vest buttons that were used between 1900 and 1951. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These photos show digging out the line between Arvada and Leyden after the 1913 blizzard. As is typical of Colorado snowstorms, the wind blows snow into the cuts and scours the higher ground. This same problem plagued railroads in eastern Colorado as well. Jimmy Adams, the Superintendent of North Division at the time is shown by the X in the first photo.
