Re: Bankruptcy judge approves SLRG sale to KCVN / Soloviev Group

Another article that covers the SLRG sale to KCVN:

[www.realvail.com]

I didn't notice a lot of new information in that article (if you have already been following the SLRG saga) but there is a somewhat striking photo of a snowy "meeting" atop La Veta Pass:



Stefan Soloviev, second from right, talks to workers atop La Veta Pass on Tuesday — the highest still-operating freight railroad pass on the continent at 9,242 feet (Soloviev Group photo).

The article also summarizes the status of Soloviev's offer to buy the [mostly dormant] former Rio Grande Tennessee Pass line, now owned by UP.


If you are not already familiar with the standard gauge railroads in the area, there is also a map graphic:


Note that the SLRG connection at Walsenburg is to the south of Pueblo, off the bottom of the map, but the KCVN/Colorado Pacific line is shown on the map, marked as "Towner Line".
