Breckenridge Tourist Railroad

Kurt Maechner
Over the years I have come across the fact that Breckenridge had some sort of plan/vision of constructing and building a tourist railroad. It had enough momentum that they appear to have bought quite a bit of rail and track hardware from the un-realized Sundown & Southern railroad project (presumably in 2002 when the S&S property was auctioned off). That is the rail that was eventually donated/sold (?) to the Como project. I've also heard ideas that they even hoped to operate C&s no. 9 using compressed pressure instead of coal. If memory serves me, the idea was to reach Frisco, but obtaining property/easements proved difficult and contributed to the concept never happening.

Does anyone have any other information on that project?
