  1. Dual Gauge tracks

    Dual Gauge tracks

    This is some of the track laid at the Colorado Rail Museum. I had seen dual-gauge track before, but never track with a couple of turn-outs.

    Manitou & Pikes Peak RY

    Another photo from my trip to the Colorado Rail Museum. This is one of the various steam engines that the M&PPRY used to climb to the top of Pike's Peak - a journey from roughly 6000' elevation to 14,110'. The cogged track is visible at the base of the locomotive

  3. Basking in the sunlight

    Basking in the sunlight

    One of the most photographed F9s, D&RGW #5771 gleams in the sunshine at the Colorado Rail Museum in late December 2002. This is probably the best of the photos I took of this historic engine, and my personal favorite as well.
