The newest model railroader


He arrived at 1:28am this morning. This is his first experience with trains...the Colorado Central's Georgetown Loop. The photo is William Henry Jackson's majestic exposure from the day prior to the start of regular operations. Today, the line has been rebuilt and is a steam operated tourist line...with an 1884 Cooke mogul which traversed the loop prior to WW2.

Here's a view of that picture...

The kid and mom are bonding now.
