American Trains Old & New

We were impressed by the shere size of the trains - the first we saw were those hauling coal with trucks stretching back a mile, hauled by four or more engines, as they rolled through Castle Rock.
Our daughter took us to the wonderful railroad museum at Golden where the trains and rolling-stock of the old west rest like sleeping monsters. We hope to add to this gallery with more modern versions over the next few visits to Colorado.

Thanks David,

For bringing to life an era from our past which disappeared so quickly almost no one saw it. The rails were once the lifeblood of our communities, the trains were so important to that time, now almost lost forever. Wonderful works, marvelous photos, thanks again.......
