Leadville,
Colorado & Southern Railroad Depot.
"I can hear the train coming!" |
 |
"Check out THIS big boy!" |
 |
"Leadville has scenic mountain vistas everywhere you look!" |
|
"We're heading out of Leadville...hey, I can see Turquoise Lake (in the middle of the picture) where we spent a fun week!" |
|
"Riding the train is just TOO cool, Dad!" |
|
"There's highway 91, the route we drove to get to Leadville, snaking up the valley." |
|
"The Conductor said the spot down in the valley is where the Arkansas River begins. In the background is the Climax Lead Mine. Awww, time to head back down the mountain, already?" |
|
"Water tower stop...time to stretch our legs and look around!" |
|
"Hey, who are those good lookin' passengers!" |
|
"Cool water tower!" |
|
"Oh yeah, check out the caboose!" |
|
"I think we'll ride the open car the rest of the way back. All aboard!" |
|
"Look Dad, on this turn we can see both the caboose..." |
|
"...and the engine!" |
|
"How are you enjoying your train ride, Tuxedo?" |
|
"Just fine Conductor 'Mam, although I have a headache from everyone patting me on the head when they walk by!" |
|
"Hey Dad, check out THIS
big boy! Can we take an engine like this on our next train ride? Please,
please, pretty please???!!!"
"We'll see son, we'll see..." |
