Loop railroad suffers temporary shutdown
The Georgetown Loop railroad, a popular tourist attraction 50 miles west of Denver, has been shut down after the line's sole backup engine ran into mechanical difficulties.
Officials at the corkscrewing narrow-gauge railroad hope to be back up and running by Thursday with a refurbished steam engine, No. 9, assuming that it passes today's planned boiler inspection.
The troubles began last week when the 80-year-old No. 12 steam engine snapped its axle.
Then, over the weekend, the diesel-electric engine used as a backup blew a traction motor, spokesman Tom Hill said.
Repairs are underway, and tourists with reservations are being rescheduled or are receiving refunds.
