Trip South - Denver - Georgetown Loop Railroad

For today's adventure, Gary's daughter and grandson 
take us to Georgetown to ride the Loop Train, a 3 ft narrow gauge railroad running  between Georgetown and Silver Plume


A beautiful day for a train ride.  Here comes our train.

We get to the loading dock


We leave the station behind

We tool along, passing through some beautiful scenery



Sometimes up close and personal



Just enjoying the views


It follows Clear Creek for a stretch

We arrive at Silver Plume





Then it's time to board for the return trip.  Here comes our engine to switch directions

Guess we're all set



 
We blow off a little steam

 
pass a replica of an old mining campsite

 
Almost back to the station - don't look down



 
What a great ride.  On the way home we stop by the Peak to Plains trail and check out the Creek.
