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.

The former silver mining camp along Clear Creek in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains was established in 1859 during the Pike's Peak Gold Rush. The town sits at an elevation of 8,530 feet (2,600 m), nestled in the mountains near the upper end of the valley of Clear Creek in the mountains west of Denver along Interstate 70. Although a small town today, the town was a historic center of the mining industry in Colorado during the late 19th century, earning the nickname the "Silver Queen of Colorado".

Colorado's Georgetown Loop Railroad, running on the former Colorado & Southern grade between Georgetown and Silver Plume, Colorado. The route follows Clear Creek and loops back over itself on the Devil's Gate Viaduct, a reproduction of the original bridge that stood in the canyon.

He is one of the fishermen from one of the few small fishing communities in the heart of Georgetown. I usually see him around 7:30-8:30 am, catching crabs and fishes from his boat. Hope to get a better shot of him someday.
