It can be confusing to try to walk or drive the grades. Most of the grades were converted to roads and there were a lot of roads already there. I was driving on one that I thought was just a road, but then it turned into a line of ties and I realized I had been on a ROW.
Fantastic area with 4% grades, switch backs, double loops, snow sheds, and a turntable, all at over 10,000 feet up to 11,000
Attached is a photo from the Colorado RR Museum showing the double loop and snowsheds near the Little Jonny mine.
