Eastern Colorado Scenery
For those who have never had the pleasure of traveling to Colorado from western Kansas, I can assure you that the scenery doesn't immediately turn into beautiful vistas around the Rockies. Instead, THIS is what you see until you're somewhere west of Limon.
Here, just after leaving our hotel in Colby, we came across the KYLE Railway's SALI1-30 splitting the elevators in Bethune, CO along the Rock Island's old route of the Rocky Mountain Rocket with an old Utah Railway MK unit on the point. After the crew hopped on this train, the trailing SD40-2 lit on fire and had to be set out in Stratton, CO.
