The ROW has been built on.
Speaking of trips, there was an excursion up the Monarch Branch in the late 1940s which late included a trip over Poncha Pass as far as Villa Grove. The 489 was the power. I believe it was the last passenger train over Poncha.
That would be a trip to get in the time machine for.
