Aspen Gold, and bonafine aspens at Needleton Siding, deep in Anaimas River Canyon on Durango & Silverton:
While stopped on the main, attempting to figure out an ailing locomotive that can't hold the steam she should, I bagged this shot of a 12,000-foot peak; capped with snow, and ringed with color, it was gorgeous! Winding along the Animas River, another curvy sot:
Now here is something different, CN#805 (G8 narrow gauge) Canadian Railway Museum, Delson, Québec, Canada (By Pierre Lacombe)
NICE CATCH!!!!!!! I've never seen that one and I know exactly the location you took this at. Actually, I think we were doing about 10MPH but you can see he were pushing the engine rahter than the engine pulling the train on that shot.
I have never seen rails that small in 12"=1' scale ever before in my life... Just north of Rockwood, the brakeman disembarks the train to flag the rear during a water stop:
I've never noticed this topic before. Since Page one has the inferior Knott's berry farm, Let's go with the grownup anaheim Narrowgauge. Here's the #1 C.K. Holiday at the former frontierland station on the Disneyland & Santa Fe railroad. She was built in 1955. I can't find a Picture of the newest (Oldest) Engine #5 Ward Kimball.
Those are mining size rails. Probably in the 15-20 pound range. Highly prized by people building little operations to run critters, or large live steam. Boxcab E50
Rare, rare, rare. One of only three ever built. All three were saved from scrappers torches, by narrow gauge museum operators. Two went to the Edaville RR. Where the deck and railing seen here was added. They were built for use inside a plant that had extremely tight clearances, and ran on two foot gauge tracks. Boxcab E50
