The Georgetown Steam Plant was originally constructed in 1906. It provided coal fired electricity initially and then switched to oil. The steam plant was retired in early 1980's and is now a museum opened on the second Saturday of each month.
Springtime at Georgetown University Washington DC. My workplace is adjacent to the indergraduate campus. I park in a garage just next to this part of the campus. I was an undergrad here and spent quite a bit of time here senior year as I lived on campus. (The Science hall is to the right, and the dorm I lived in are to the left). I know that as a senior I wondered about the future and what my life would be like. As that older self I look at the scene and try to remember back to what it was like, before rushing home for dinner. We only have THIS moment.

Just after arriving at Devil's Gate Station with her first trip of the day, Georgetown Loop Railroad Locomotive #40 has decoupled from her consist and backed down to the lower switch in the yard. She pauses briefly here, just above Clear Creek while her Conductor lines the switch for the run-around track, before heading back up-mountain several hundred yards, to re-couple on the other end of the train.
When ready for departure for Silver Plume, the trains typically begin the journey by backing down the line to end-of-track, just below the Devil's Gate Bridge. They'll then execute a hard-start, getting the train moving pretty quickly uphill past the station. In just a couple of minutes, the train will be high overhead on the bridge, completing "The Loop", which gave the railroad its name.
Georgetown is the oldest Catholic and Jesuit affiliated institution of higher education in the United States.
This spectacular stretch of 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge railroad was originally completed in 1884, considered an engineering marvel for its time. The thriving mining towns of Georgetown and Silver Plume lie 2 miles (3.2 km) apart in the steep, narrow canyon of Clear Creek in the Rocky Mountains west of Denver. Engineers designed a corkscrew route that traveled nearly twice that distance to connect them, slowly gaining about 640 feet in elevation.
In 1973, the Colorado Historical Society began restoring the railroad using track and ties donated by the Union Pacific. This tourist train now operates between Silver Plume and the new Devil's Gate Station, which is 3/4 mile west of Georgetown.
