Thanks for posting.
Bottom one shows much about rail life with that magnificent bridge and its purpose.

I'd seen this on the box.
Michael Portillo on Great British Railway Journeys featured this in some depth.

Keep them coming. Love your steam posts.

Great photos

A couple of pictures from my December 2018 train ride on the Durange and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

Beautiful.
Top one is a striking photo.
Very nice

Just read about that railway. Wow. What a stunning location, rolling stock, bridges, engineering feat.
It is very impressive.

Wonderful photos.

My first time out in 2019. I spent a couple hours in Cajon Pass this morning.

Richard,

During the summer they run all the way to Silverton, CO. Early February they also have a Photographers train where they left you off at different locations. Haven't done either of these yet, hope to do them fairly soon. I was also around the Cumbres and Toltec which was originally connected between Durango and Antonio. They do not run during the winter so everything was starting to get covered with snow. More photos from the trip are at BJL0825.myportfolio.co​m.
