The Georgetown Loop Railroad is a narrow gauge heritage railroad located in the Rocky Mountains in Clear Creek County, Colorado, in the United States.
The railroad operates summer tourist trains between the communities of Georgetown and Silver Plume, a distance of 2 miles (3.2 km). The railroad route is 4.5 miles (7.2 km) long and ascends an elevation of 640 feet (195.1 m) through mountainous terrain along with trestles, cuts, fills, and a grand loop. (Wikipedia)

The neighborhood of Georgetown, in Washington D.C. has many town houses or row houses, but also has single family homes and duplexes.
Compared to places like Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, buildings in Georgetown seem to be decades older. It all seems to be right out of the fifties, which is fine for me because it gives the city a certain flair that both mentioned places lack.
In this picture, I love the odd colors of the Syarikat Boon Wah building.
Georgetown Colorado.
Georgetown is a mining town in Colorado. It's not too far from Denver. Gold mines were used here as early as 1859 and a few years later silver was found. Before the 1893 silver boom collapse there were 10,000 people is this town, and area. Most of them then moved Denver.
The elevation is about 8500. The population now is about 1000. The main part of town is about one square mile. There is also a well known train tour through a loop here, but I did not take it.
There are plenty of old buildings and victorian houses, shops, restaurants and museums, churches and the old school house. The town still keeps it's old small town charm.
There were a couple movies filmed here, including one that shows the colonial post office. The movie with the PO was Phantoms in 1998. Any Which Way But Loose with Clint Eastwood had some parts filmed here. It was the scene with the showdown of Clint's character and the Black Widows motorcycle gang. Also a Christmas TV movie with John Denver was filmed here.
I took about a dozen photos and will post them. I'd like to go back one day in the morning. I had the sun on half of the town, leaving the other half shaded and dark.

The Georgetown Loop Railroad operates over a former Colorado & Southern narrow gauge line between Georgetown and Silver Plume, Colorado. It "loops" back over itself via the Devil's Gate Viaduct, which was rebuilt in 1984 (the original was in use from 1884 until 1939).
Locomotive No. 111 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, Penn., in 1926 for the International Railways of Central America. It is very similar to the locomotives once used on the Georgetown Loop, although it is an oil burner (most C&S locomotives burned coal).
