Re: NNG: Creede Line "Wagon Wheel Gap Route".
| August 14, 2007 08:12PM |
I was on a work party earlier this year cleaning weeds and fixing track right up near the town. Actually, most of the people who stopped or drove by were very supportive, we got a lot of "It's about time someone fixed up that railroad!" I'd say we got about 4 thumbs up for every glare.
Volunteers finishing up another rail replacement. You can see that the area has been cleared of weeds as well. Memorial Weekend, 2007. We actually did a lot of work that weekend; there's a list of about 15 projects but I don't have photos of most of it.

I would say the line is in better shape now than it has been in a LONG time.
