A shot
of the yard in Minturn, Colorado. This was a standard gauge yard
for the D&RGW railway. This portion is currently abandoned.
Shortly the track will be removed. I was not trying to find Minturn,
just ran across it. It was after the fact that I learned where I
had been and the historical significance of the location.
The
bridge on the Georgetown Loop. Here are two narrow gauge desiels
that run on the line. Toursets can ride the line between Georgetown
and Silver Plum. At times they run shay locomotives - the day that
I was there, they where running the diesels.
Looking
toward Georgetown with the line going under the Georgetown bridge.
Silver
Creek - The stream where gold and silver where found in the mountains of
Colorado. This is looking east under the Georgetown loop towards
Georgetown.
A
number of vintage narrow gauge cars are located in Silver Plum on the Georgetown
Loop Railroad. Here is a D&RGW box car that I was able to take
a picture of.
