I've always been fascinated by this photo which appeared in "Tracking Ghost Railroad in Colorado". The line featured two inclined trestles and a tunnel. This was the only way to reach the hydroelectric plant which was fed from the Skagway Reservoir. According to the author the line was abondoned in 1965. Just curious if anyone on this board has ever visited the site or not.

As best I can tell from the map in the book it was located somewhere near the center of this map. If you move the map due north you can find the Skagway Reservoir.
