[Leica] Colorado - Durango to Silverton RR

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

Was wondering how it compared to the cog train which goes up to Pike Peak
which I went on. Cant remember if we the LHSA went to Durango or not it sure
rings a bell! I had to take a roaring pee the whole way up to the top of
pikes peak. Now that was pain. Get to the top and you're delirious in the
fog.

When we were in

gauge RR from

didn't.  Partly

HI Aram,
Nice series. I have the model

someday, when I get all the cabin

garden.
Thanks for
