These photos were taken in August and September of 1999.

This was taken from the rear platform of the parlor car "ALAMOSA" when leaving Silverton. I do not know what peak this is, but I found the looks of it very odd and interesting.

These three photos were taken of an interesting residence near Durango. The two cabooses were trucked in and turned into a vacation cabin or full time home. It was for sale. I took photos of it to show people what I wanted to do out at my property.

Unlike much of the railroad, the lower few miles is relatively flat and straight, as shown here.

On the southern end of the line, I saw this water fall. It is easily seen from the the US highway that is in the foreground.

One of the trips we stopped at Hermosa for water (we were riding behind Eureka). I saw this strange looking yellow car. I still do not know what it is for.

This car was seen at the Colorado Railroad Museum. The day I was there, I was mostly interested in the Galloping Geese (for live steam). I took a shot of this car and looked it up when I got home. It is a kitchen car.
