Eagle Lumber Co. loading shed
The Eagle Lumber Co. loading shed for the Denver & Rio Grand railroad at Peterson Creek gulch in the Eagle River Canyon (about .5 mi. from Red Cliff and 2 mi. from Belden). The logs were sent down on the surface tram running down the gulch in this photo and then loaded on train cars. There is another set of main line tracks across the Eagle River (at the bottom of the photo). The small building at the right is the tram house. Above that, there is a small structure that appears to be the house for a bucket tram, carrying ore across the river from the Champion Mine. The large building at center may have been housing for workers.
