The Sunnyside mine and mill were served by one of Otto Mears’ three
little railroads, the Silverton Northern. Gladstone, a similar
mining camp to the west of Eureka and now also a ghost town, was
served by its own railroad. The tall building at the right of both
photos is the jail from which all the bars and bolts have recently
been vandalized. The road that crosses below the dump at the right
leads up to Animas Forks.
