Lief & VP,
As a child 4 decades ago, my dad took me on a narrow gauge train ride from Durango to Silverton. I loved the scenery, sounds, smells, "story"...the whole experience...
You've got me thinking about repeating that Colorado train adventure (still exists after 131 years!) with my sons...and showing them a train hauling ore from Hay Mountain!
Take care and thanks for allowing the wanderings and recollections...,
