Friday was beautiful, if a little warm, here in Colorado. I was done with work by 1330h, so I figured I'd take a little drive out west and go over Tennessee Pass for the first time this season. Here's a few shots from the trip that I thought you all might enjoy seeing.

Date: 07 Jul 2011 Owner: ND Holmes
[800x533] [3000x2000] Yes, here's a good use of taxpayer dollars - building a $4.6M overpass over a railroad that will likely never see another revenue train. Apparently I'm not the only one that thinks that, and CDOT has released a statement that it's due to its original agr ... Date: 07 Jul 2011 Owner: ND Holmes	[800x533] [3000x2000] The C&S roundhouse in Leadville, now used by the LC&S Date: 07 Jul 2011 Owner: ND Holmes	[800x533] [3000x2000] LC&S 1918 (ex-NP 1918, nee-NP 333) sitting out on the east side of the C&S roundhouse. Yes, for those wondering, dynamics were retrofitted on several years back, explaining why an ex-NP geep now has a bulge. Date: 07 Jul 2011 Owner: ND Holmes
[800x533] [3000x2000] The former C&S depot in Leadville, now used by the Leadville, Colorado and Southern Railroad's tourist operation. Date: 07 Jul 2011 Owner: ND Holmes	[800x533] [3000x2000] The yard at Malta Date: 07 Jul 2011 Owner: ND Holmes	[800x533] [3000x2000] Sentinels looking to protect a train that will likely never come Date: 07 Jul 2011 Owner: ND Holmes
[800x533] [3000x2000] Looking south from Malta. Date: 07 Jul 2011 Owner: ND Holmes	[800x533] [3000x2000] A look southward down a long straight valley near Granite Date: 07 Jul 2011 Owner: ND Holmes	[533x800] [2000x3000] The truss bridge between Granite and Princeton Date: 07 Jul 2011 Owner: ND Holmes
[800x533] [3000x2000] Looks pretty good, despite over a decade of neglect Date: 07 Jul 2011 Owner: ND Holmes	[800x533] [3000x2000] Another rock blocking the line just timetable west of Princeton Date: 07 Jul 2011 Owner: ND Holmes	[800x533] [3000x2000] The north end of Princeton. When I arrived, the door on the shed was open. Very little remains inside - vandals have pretty well stripped the signal system. Date: 07 Jul 2011 Owner: ND Holmes
[800x533] [3000x2000] Last light at Buena Vista, looking south. Sometime this summer I'll get the line from here south as well. Date: 07 Jul 2011 Owner: ND Holmes	[533x800] [2000x3000] When was the last time you saw a grade crossing signal with wooden arms? Too bad they're busted off. Date: 07 Jul 2011 Owner: ND Holmes
