The Twisting Tale of the Georgetown Loop - Part 6 (The finale)

[Kurt Maechner]

I posted part 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 of this series that attempts to chronicle the history of the restoration of the C&Sng's Georgetown Loop.

In Part 6, the final pieces of the Georgetown Loop's High Bridge/Devil's Gate Viaduct come together and a number of ceremonies take place to honor it, including the biggest celebration on Colorado Day, 1984.  The day has a mishap, but eventually comes together as an enormous celebration of a lost cause that instead became a railroad resurrected back to life.

As always, if you know more or have corrections, I would love to know.

Enjoy,
Kurt
