Lowell goes for a checkout ride with Wayne. They are near the depest part of the road cut. From the looks of Lowell's hair we are either going about 50 mph or the wind is blowing like heck.	Lowell and Wayne are coming out of the raod cut.	They are almost ont the flats as they wind their way toward the depot.	A young train enthusiast on a rail car.
He gets closer.	A rare occurance. A derailment. We had none all day.	The depot from afar,	Lowell and Wayne rounding the bend toward the depot.
Primrose were growing wild everywhere.	Bijou creek in the background. Lowell and Wayne are returning from the creek.	Inside the depot waiting area looking at the low trestle.	Lowell and Wayne approach the depot.
Arriving at the depot.	Waiting passengers.	A look over Lowell's sholder as he leaves the depot.	Another train with a load of passengers.
Young passengers.	Lunch break. Goose #7 is parked in the yard near the coal tipple.	An odd assortment of equipment at the steaming bays.	Look closely at the 2 tracks leaving the turntable. On the right is 7.5 inch gauge and on the left is 4.75 inch gauge.
Linda drives Goose #7 as Lowell takes photos over her shoulder. The next several pictures traverse the rails in sequence (more or less). Here we have left the depot and are headed for the edge of the hill.	Crossing a long steel bridge on the edge of Bijou creek.	On the main. The siding leads to the water tank. The far left track is where we will be in a few minutes.	We are being followed.
Rounding the bend.	Jest startign down the road cut. The train above and to the right is located where we were in the previous picture.	Deeper into the cut.	Still deeper.
Approaching the deepest part of the cut.	Out of the cut and approaching a short bridge before the tunnel.	Approaching the tunnel entrance.	In the tunnel.
Exiting the tunnel.	Approaching the high bridge.	Almost to the bottom of Bijou Creek where we loop back for the return trip.	The following train crossing the high bridge.
We are climbing about a 4 percent grade (I'm told) on the return to the high bridge.	Nearing the end of the high bridge and approaching the lower tunnel portal.	The lower tunnel portal.	In the tunnel again.
We've exited the tunnel and gone through the entir road cut as we head back toward the depot.	Approaching the depot. This ends the trip around the tracks. The rest are just misc. shots.	Linda takes Goose #7 across the high bridge.	Still.
And is about to enter the lower tunnel portal. We hope you enjoyed this photo visit to the Colorado Live Steamers track.
