Correct, at that time Como was basically the end of the line and there was very little business. Breckenridge took them to Court to get the line reopened over Boreas.
We walked the Leadville line past the first fence to the second fence, a part of the Roundhouse property was sold some 20 years ago and it seems that will stop us 100ft or so from the Aspen in the distance. Seems very little would be needed by the grading crew, no washouts. Going down to the Trestle well it feels step and requires a lot more work and is not immediately usable. Leadville has the advantage of getting us out of sight from where the Roundhouse.
Cutting ties is perhaps our current blockage, very hard on a chain saw, need a giant chop saw.
