A cool view of the narrow gauge
| September 08, 2021 10:01AM |
With another heat wave moving into Colorado, here is a distraction from a cool ride on the open platform of a narrow gauge (2'6") train heading into the mountains south of Freital, Saxony. Not an excursion, just one of a number of daily trains on a regular public transportation schedule.
Not long before, the 2-10-2T powering the train had been receiving a load of coal for the run into the mountains
