So the three-rail track in the photo might be the former South Park main line. These views are looking northwest.

Griffin Wheel was located on the south side of Denver on the C&S west side line at W. Evans Ave and S. Osage St.

What a great name for a RR. I wonder who absorbed the CRI&T.

I did a fairly cursory search to find where Griffin Wheel Denver was located, and didn't come up with an answer. There is a three-rail track in the foreground.

There are several in this series including shots of early ATSF stock cars being used to haul cast wheels.

What a great photo loaded with details. It looks like an expansion or another industry is rising in the background.

Hi List Members,
I assume that the two stock cars at the left side of the image - Fort Worth
& Denver 3072 and an unidentified AT&SF stock car - will be carrying
their share of steel wheels shortly.
