The river was so high this day that the state officials closed the river to rafting and kayaking companies. We saw three kayakers, but I'm sure they ignored the warnings and did it anyway.
The train is headed West. Once clear of the canyon U.S. 50 will be on the other side of the river. The Arkansas river sure looks different in Colorado than it does in Arkansas. About 45 or 50 miles West of this place is a small town called Salida. The valley surrounding Salida has the largest concentration of 14K plus peaks in the U.S. My sister lived just north of Salida from 1962 until 1971.
This was my third trip to Colorado to explore. I noticed on this trip how many towns, places and mountain tops that were in the 12,000 to 14,000 ft range. Colorado is an amazing place.
I believe the bridge is actually the Royal Gorge Bridge, which does not carry route 50, but is, in fact, a tourist attraction and the highest bridge in the US. Route 50 crosses the Arkansas River at Bumbatch Gulch at a substantially lower point. Great video though.
Looks like they removed the deteriorating platform just past the hanging bridge that hung out over the river where the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad stopped and passengers stepped off to take in the views of the Arkansas River. Now just a concrete wall. The train provided daily scheduled passenger service between St. Louis and San Francisco.
Hi JL, Being from the east, I don't know a lot about the Denver and Rio Grande. However, after my trip, this is a railroad I definitely need to learn more about. Thanks for commenting.
River looks a bit up, no rafters/kayakers? Did this twice, once in 2017 with son and once with my new wife in 2021. Interesting how much 'building' was done on that stretch of river. Enjoying watching your trip!

@@jamescleveland6575they do. I lost a river guide from that once. Sweet guy. They didn’t find his body for many days.

Mike, I just looked it up and you are right. I need to do some editing. Thanks for the catch.

Those "serious problems" are the wheel flanges making contact with the rails on curves. Happens on all trains at any speed.
