Some Phuzzygraphs I found from a pair of trips to CO in 1975 and 1976. Our travels took us from the Denver area up through Nederland and down into Central City, Idaho Springs and to the newly opened Georgetown Loop Railroad. Enjoy.
Upon arrival in Central City, we find C&S #71 on display.
2-8-0 was out of service in Central that day...
....while #14 did the honors with the passenger train.
After a quick trip down to the end of track at Packard Gulch, we headed down the hill to Idaho Springs.
The first order of business was to find the Argo Tunnel. Which was good for a couple of shots...
Another, with a 1967-8 Mercury Cougar for added interest.
