Rode the
15" gauge Royal Gorge Scenic Railway on May 25, 2012. The official story is that this is its last season of operation at present location. Apparently, based on a casual conversation I had with one of the employees there, or at least a fellow in coveralls who was sitting in a chair on the platform, the new owners have run into some hitches with their plans and are trying to unload it. Well, the fella was nowhere to be seen when I got back from the train ride, so maybe he was a figment of my indigestion.
Ah, the railfan rumor mill, 'tis a marvelous thing and I am always pleased to make my contribution to it.
