Colorado & North-Western Then & Now
| July 30, 2015 03:34PM |
A bit of then & now from the Switzerland Trail, west of Boulder, Colorado...
The Sugar Loaf depot, circa 1915. A snapshot view that I found in a photo album at the Colorado Railroad Museum a decade or so ago.
Roughly the same view today (July 30, 2015) The rocks on the left side were the best clue to the location.
Another view from today with my daughter and I filling in for the man and girl in the "then" photo. A Forest Service trailer fills in for the C&N-W's track.
