Don't plan on 1744 for this summer. Railfanning the SLRG is somewhat like chasing the D&S. While some good shots cam be had from the road, by far the most spectacular scenery is accessable only by train. There are a few shots to be had heading out of La Veta, but getting more than 1 or 2 spots per day would be tough. Most of the adjoining land going over the hill is private property, whose owners don't like trespassers.
