A bad back dictated that I travel light to the Georgetown, Texas, July 4 festivities. No tripod. I took my long zoom lens, great for the people shots I got, but not the best choice in hindsight for fireworks - especially since the show was bursting literally right over our heads as we sat on the banks of the San Gabriel River. I had to point my Canon 60D, cranked up to ISO 6400 and hand-held, almost straight up, and the 3D effect of "bombs bursting in air" was better than anything in any movie. Congratulations to Georgetown for successfully pulling off a fireworks show when other Central Texas cities bowed to the drought and fire concerns. Well done!

Georgetown wasn't a tourist playtown. In almost every pretty little doorway, craftsmen and businesses hummed with print-presses, kitchen equipment and machine tools.
nrhp # 66000243- The Georgetown–Silver Plume National Historic Landmark District is a federally designated United States National Historic Landmark that comprises the Town of Georgetown, the Town of Silver Plume, and the Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park between the two silver mining towns along Clear Creek in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Clear Creek County, Colorado, United States.
The district includes well-preserved examples of the buildings and mining structures of the Colorado Silver Boom from 1864 to 1893. The Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park includes the reconstructed Georgetown Loop, a spectacular example of 19th-century 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge railway engineering required to negotiate the 601 feet (183 meters) of elevation rise in the mere 2.0 miles (3.2 kilometers) between the two towns. Historic steam locomotives pull passenger trains over the loop from late May through the beautiful Autumn colors of early October. Guided tours of the Lebanon Silver Mine are also available.
The district was designated a National Historic Landmark on November 13, 1966.
Gold was discovered in Georgetown by George and David Griffiths in 1859, and Georgetown eventually took its name from the former. The gold finds in the area were relatively minor, but a major lode of silver was discovered in 1864, kicking off the local boom. Georgetown became a center for thousands of miners operating in the surrounding hills. Silver Plume was developed as one of a series of satellite camps, and in 1884 the Georgetown Loop Railroad was built, connecting the two by rail. Mining declined in the 1890s, and the area has since had a relatively low population.

Georgetown Loop RR, Sliver Plume, Colorado, 30 May 1983
In May and June 1983, I traveled with four friends through the Rocky Mountain states on a railfanning road trip.
We spent the night of 29-30 May in Cheyenne, Wyoming, then headed south into Colorado with our first goal the Georgetown Loop RR at Silver Plume. The line is 3' gauge and is a reconstruction of tthe former Georgetown, Breckenridge and Leadville, later Colorado and Southern, line that closed in 1938
We rode one train, then photographed the next, both led by Shay #14. Other equipment was stored in various states of repair.
The high bridge that made the line the Georgetown Loop had not yet been built, but several miles of track had been restored on the former Georgetown, Breckenridge and Leadville, later Colorado and Southern, line and the train backed down from Silver Plume to where the loop bridge was. The bridge was reconstructed the following year.
The line's website is at www.georgetownlooprr.com/
It seems that since I was there in 1983, all of the equipment that I saw has been replaced by new equipment, so the website does not have any information on any of the 1983 locomotives.
We stopped in Georgetown, where I shot the Hotel de Paris from abut the same angle as the photo in Lucius Beebe's "Highball".
