I always loved this spot, back in the 70s, because you couldn't see the track. The train was just trouping through the sagebrush. Some of that sagebrush was high enough to brush against the locomotive steps and even the stirrups on the old rider boxcars.

In addition to that, you can see out to the Sangre de Cristos and the Great Sand Dunes. It's a wonderful place

Thanks for the photo, John.
