Rocks and trains
It seems like Colorado’s history of trains is also about the geology and rocks of Colorado. The mountains are so tall, the valleys are so narrow, and the rocks are so hard. Its hard to fathom just how much effort it was moving all the rocks Even modern earth moving methods, are just shinny and newer versions of what dynamite, pick axes and leveraging steel accomplished.
