Thank you. I hope the photo collections we can see behind glass (or plexiwhatever) have been scanned and digitally preserved. You've got some awfully nice images there, containing a lot of historical
Thank you. Going up that canyon must have been a pretty spectacular ride. The C&S abutted some beautiful scenery along the eastern flank of the Rockies. The pictures I've seen of the branches that go
