Just a few pictures of the "beginning" of the present day Georgetown Loop.
Here is the Silver Plume depot at it's new location, after being moved out of the way of I-70. Picture taken March, 1973
The first railroad car arrives...Woops...no track! Taken March 1973
Track gets laid and cars start to arrived. Some belong to the State and the others to the Ashbys. Also MOTIVE POWER!! The yellow and green passenger cars and diesel came from the Camino, Cable and Northern. I think I took these in May 1974. The foundation is being built for the depot.
