Our narrow gauge lines (and there are only two left!) are 2ft wide.

2 feet? No kidding! That is narrow! Yes, the Cumbres & Toltec is narrow gauge. Standard gauge is too wide for the mountainous terrain. I should go to Chama and take some fall pictures. I think I'll do that next year!!

***EDIT*** I just looked through the thread again. The little railroad I was talking about was the Georgetown Loop. I say "little" because it only about a mile.

That would be a good idea to get some Chama and kilt pictures, Hawk.

By the way, what do you and your family do for Samhain, or Halloween, or what ever you all celebrate?

Great photos been a while since getting out to Colorado fall colors. I like the tartan you have designed. Fall has given me a new appreciation for the deciduous forrest and her many colorful surprises this year.
