Dec-31-01, 02:14 PM (EST) "DRGW Tenn Pass. Secret Spy Pics " KUAT Rail Yards - (rail spy division) was able to hack into NickF's computer and obtain for you these rare views of his DRGW route going thru the Royal Gorge up to Tennessee pass.... unfortunately we were kicked out before we could get the hanging bridge shot....(or some dimwit forgot to put it in the .zip file when the other pics were e-mailed home)The DRGW tender at the top of the Royal Gorge
Looking down at the hanging bridge from the suspension bridge
Looking down at an eastbound freight
At the bottom with a westbound freight
-- pics were taken in the late 80's to early 90's, by me
just something to look forward to, and provide a little encouragement to DRGW route designers
