Elvas Tower: Alpine Tunnel Engine House - Elvas Tower

Alpine Tunnel Engine House. One of many buildings located at the Alpine Tunnel along the Denver South Park & Pacific Railroad East of Pitkin, Colorado.

NOTE-1: Model is based on the original engine house before it was destroyed by a fire in 1906.

NOTE-2: This is a very high poly model. Though tests in MSTS encountered no issues, the authors suggest using Open Rails for better results.

Information gathered from pictures out "The South Park Line," by Mallory Hope Ferrelland this model is a best guess.


If you know something we do not or have information about the back side of this building please let us know.
