YES! The Las Flores/San Juan Tramway railroad...
Here is the terminal platform where ore buckets hanging from the tram cable dumped their ore into the train cars for the 5 mile downhill run to Las
Flores where the ore was processes into ingots of gold or silver.
That is Doc of Camp Gecko on the platform...
