It was 40 years ago this month that the railroad in Silver Plume ran it's first FULL year of operation. We did run trains in July and August of 1975, but the rail only went as far as the high fill or "baseball field". Lots of work was being done, not only on the track but the buildings and bridges as well
I had worked with Rick Steele before in Central City, but it was my first year working with MD Ramsey.
40 years ago!!!! It seems like only yesterday
