    Took several photographs of the photos in the case for research usage and then check out other historical buildings. In one of those buildings I would come across another Railroad Display so once again (click, click, click) and here is a couple of those images.

    Water Tower

    Lisa and I will now step outside and start photographing other railroad items. Here I selected two shots of Lisa's that captured different angles of the Water Tower.

    Here is Denver, South Park, and Pacific #22

    The locomotive, built in 1914, is a Porter Mogul #6 and of the basic type used by the DSP&R
    It was purchased from the United Fruit Co., of Guatemala.

    Lisa and I will also take advantage of Denver and Rio Grande Western #0517 being open. Here I take a photo out of the windows from both seats looking over the train in front of me...

    Breckenridge, CO

    We return to Breckenridge but before heading to the condo for the night there is time to eat, a bit of shopping, and find a few spots of interest.

    This building was used by Colorado and Southern Station Agent J. E. Sayres

    Bridge

    As part of my Ghostfanning projects I want to try to document as much of where the old RR lines once were; especially within cities where there is little to nothing left. Breckenridge is one of those places and I came across this that "might" be the remains of an old RR bridge.

    OK, time to boot up your copy of Google Earth and follow along for our initial hike along the bottom section of the line. I also have elevation information for each photo.
