Georgetown Loop – Colorado - USA

I joined a tour called “Colorado Rail Adventure” put together by “Vacations by Rail” to see and visit some of Colorado’s amazing railroads. Our first railroad was the “Georgetown Loop” a remnant of the once extensive 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge Colorado and Southern Railway. Today the line runs between Devil’s Gate High Bridge and Silver Plume along the narrow “Clear Creek” canyon crossing the creek four times along its twisting route that also includes a complete spiral. Our locomotive for this trip is Engine number 9, a three truck Shay type locomotive built by Lima Locomotive Works, Lima, Ohio in 1923. Before moving on we take a look at the historic township of Georgetown.
