(RRAdventures) - Railfanning Colorado

Tonight I thought I would open up my archives and bring to you a trip report from 2005 that takes you back into Colorado’s lush history of railroading.

So, sit back and get ready for a ton of photographs and video clips. Don’t forget, most images I post are just thumbnails; you can click your mouse on them to see a larger image. This way the topic loads faster by not having to open / download the large images each time you open the topic.
