Great work!!! I really enjoyed this. My father and I just took the zephyr and have been looking up all the stuff along the way. A trip to the needle might be in our futures!
I grew up i Gilpin County and spent a lot of my childhood exploring the old railroad. Lots of hiking to the many lakes from the road and driving over the trestles past the tunnel. We used the old stagecoach road after the closing of Needles Eye tunnel. Soon after the forest service closed that road and made travel over Rollins Pass impossible by 4WD. It's still a great area to explore.
Despite the overpopulation in the cost of living in Colorado I'm so very timted at moving back there and just traveling around the Rockies, I lived there from 1978 to 2009 now my step dad he's in his late 80s Colorado native end descendant of many pioneers from the early eighteen hundreds of Colorado the meaning of them worked on a Colorado railroad as well as many of the gold mines still a beautiful fascinating place and a lot that has not been discovered or destroyed yet thank God

I wonder, how this line could ever been maintained. Mostly higher than the tree line, rockfall, snowdrift, avalanches..
