Silver Plume

Well that's as far up the Argentine Central roadbed we went which is just a very small section. During this 1/2 mile hike I also took a few shots of the Georgetown Loop railroad in Silver Plume to also give you a feel for grade since the AC basically starts at the same elevation. Know wonder they used Shay Engines!!!!!!!

What the .............

As we head for home from Silver Plume we start to pull onto I70 and I smack the brakes and pull over and start backing up the emergency lane. The wife is wondering what is wrong with me and I tell her I just saw "something" in the Georgetown Loop yard that is new / strange. This would be our first sighting of GLRX#1203 that arrived on the loop to keep the railroad "operational" in 2009 and keep in mind this is a Narrow Gauge!!!
