Photocopy of a postcard, the photo for which was taken by R. R. Cooper. Miners arriving for "Ole's Shift," standing in front of the bus.
From Ted Beck:
The Red Cliff bus line was probably started away back, probably in the 1930s, by Mickey Walsh. He got hold of a big old sedan, probably a Cadillac or Pierce-Arrow, that 7 or 8 men could crowd into and started hauling miners to Gilman. I don't think it was much of a success as it kept breaking down....

Photo postcard showing the Red Cliff Bridge, opened in 1941. A Denver & Rio Grande train is coming from Red Cliff, headed toward Gilman, alongside the very clear Eagle River. At the left is the Lover's Leap cliffs. On the right is the cut in the lower rocks for the road down to Red Cliff.
At the center of the photo above the bridge can be seen the tailings from Hornsilver Mine with Butter Flats (clearing) just above that.
