Originally, the Roundhouse could house six locomotives. The original structure was built by Italian stone masons; the town got its name from Lake Como in Italy. After years of disuse, the Roundhouse was restored.<\/p>\n

In recent years, the turntable was restored. Here is Klondike Kate being turned on the table.<\/p>\n

One of the attractions in the Roundhouse was a letterpress that had been used in South Park. Here is Tom, inking the press.<\/p>\n

Later in the morning we headed out to Boreas Pass (along the road that originally carried the railroad track to Breckenridge). After pancakes at Section House, we returned to Como. The Denver Brass Band were scheduled to play in the Roundhouse during the afternoon. During the performance, I found this hat being worn by one of the audience members.<\/p>\n

There were two trombone players in the band that I captured in this image. The band members were dressed in period railroad costume. That is the drummer in the background.<\/p>\n
