Climax Branch today

[Matt Hutson]

Hi guys,
My wife and I snowshoed into Democrat Basin today. The first crossing below Climax looked like this:


The big curve below Climax looked like this. Hard to believe little narrow gauge 2-8-0's operated here 24/7/365 back in the day.


Cheers,
Matt

  The majestic beauty of SE Colorado remains, but the charm of the tough
men, determination, and machinery of the 19th century is sorely missed by
the few that know what once was.  Thanks for sharing.
