<br><p>10 of 11 so far. You guys are persistent!<br></p><p>1. where the railroad was laid as narrow-gauge on a standard-gauge grade built by another railroad: <b>Royal Gorge (Murphy Siding)</b><br></p> <p>2. where the railroad was laid as narrow-gauge on a standard-gauge grade built by the same railroad <b>Glenwood (Murphy Siding)</b><br></p> <p>3. where Amtrak made a swan dive <b>Fraser (also called Fraser River) (ericsp)</b><br></p> <p>4. with the tightest curve on this railroad's transcontinental main line <b>Byers (copcarSS)</b><br></p> <p>5. with the most tunnels <b>South Boulder (nanaimo73)</b><br></p> <p>6. with the fewest tunnels, and the highest bridge <b>Royal Gorge (miniwyo)</b><br></p> <p>7. which should have been bridged on a big steel viaduct and bypassed entirely, but the railroad couldn't afford the steel <b>Rock Creek</b> <b> (nanaimo73)</b></p> <p>8. named for the Roman goddess of drought and starvation (appropriate!) <b>Egeria </b><b> (nanaimo73)</b></p> <p>9. which was dammed by nature <b>Spanish Fork </b><b> (nanaimo73)</b></p> <p>10. it's the little version of this more famous one</p> <p>11. the tunnels are twinned <b>Price River (</b><b>(nanaimo73)</b></p> <p>This leaves just #10 to be deciphered. So another hint. It's the "little" version of a canyon named for a "sportsman" and the Red Gorge is just to the west. In between is a scintillating town. (and what is this town's name, anyway?)<br></p><br><p><br></p>
