- Dotsero cafe
- A cafe next to the Dotsero Drug Company, one of the buildings left from the railroad boom at Dotsero. There are two men seated outside the cafe. It probably also functioned as one of two bars in town (the other was located on Riverside Way on the river bank). The photo was printed April 2, 1933. Duplicate photo in 2008.015.

- Double track
- "Double Track, Eagle River Canon, Colo." A passenger train in the Eagle River Canyon. Verso of the postcard reads: "Eagle River Canon is between Leadville and Glenwood Springs, and is the center of considerable mining activity. One of the striking features of this Canon is in the fact that its walls are pierced near the summit with the shafts and tunnels of mines, and looking up the rugged heights, one catches glimpses of the shaft houses and cabins of the miners, perched like the nests of eagles, in the fastnesses of the cliffs and adding a new significance to the name 'Eagle River Canon.'"
