I was too late see a train and FAR too late to see a Rio Grande train. And, I'm not optimistic I'll ever see one run up there. Sure is pretty country though

I've only had the opportunity to make a single trip up there, so all of these shots are from that trip: fall of 2011.

Great pictures. Looks like the railroad could be put back in service with just a little work. Maybe they are saving it for something special.
