anyway as we
planned the day trip with our friends Bob and Judy. The train ride was
amazing...it was the original path through the mountains that the town folk rode
at the turn of the century. The train would bring people to and from Denver as
well. The train operated until 1950's and then shut down. The rails were pulled
up as well. The restoration began in the 80's when Union railroad donated the
necessary rails and the navy volunteered the man power to put the rails back in
place. The train we rode in was the original!! It operated on an oil engine,
not one of coal as was typical
houses because
they were so incredible...the town jail still remains...it closed it's doors in
1921 but of course, I had to take my picture in front of the jail doors!!! The
original school still remains..see the picture I took...I even photographed an
old time black and white of one of the first classes to be held there back in
the mid 1800's...The first class had 200 students, the last class (1950's) had
only 20 students...the school closed its doors then and became the town
museum...We loved strolling through this old time town and we truly felt we were
transported for the day to a much earlier time...
