Mike, it would be nice if you would post a little more about the pics for those of us who are not sure what they are looking at....did the tracks go all the way around the lake??? I am seriously enjoying these..was this a narrow gauge line??
Newan, The standard gauge tracks indeed looped around the lake. They looped up around Jenny lake, further south as well. The tracks were on a 4% grade thru here, for about 24 miles solid. The knob of dirt protruding into the lake was a failed tunnel attempt by Denver, Utah & Pacific. http://www.daeunert.com/Colorado/html/rollins_pass.html http://www.moffatroad.org/index.htm Those are some great places to start exploring the Hill line.
