[CBQ] RE: Visiting Colorado

["POOTUS2010" <bearmtnbob@yahoo.com>]

Whatever you decide to see while you are there, I would suggest you purchase a 
milepost by milepost guide book describing the train trip you will be taking, 
you will learn more and make associations between what you are seeing, and what 
you may have read in the past. Also, go thru your collection and photocopy 
pages from your old timetables that relate to where you are going and what you 
will be doing. Lastly, I recommend that you get a copy of "Tracking Ghost 
Railroades" by Ormes, even if it is well out of date, you might be standing at 
a gas station or roadside pulloff and notice a slash across a hillside, that 
when you check the map, might be revealed as an abaondonded grade. Your 
companion can also be looking for old grades and rights-of-ways while you are 
driving. Of course, boning up on Colorado railroad history beforehand is to be 
recommended. Best, Bob Munshower
