The San Juan
Inspired by a photo by Richard Kindig, The San Juan rounds Tanglefoot Curve as it approaches Cumbres, Co and the summit of the continental divide in the Fall of 1950. The San Juan would be discontinued in February of 1951 ending passenger service between Durango and Alamosa. Today, this route is part of the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railway.

Kingfield, ME
It's the Fall of 1934 and an early snowfall has dropped a few inches of snow across Northern Maine. The Sandy River and Rangley Lakes Railroad is in its final years as No. is ready to depart Kingfield, ME with a short mixed train. No. 18 became the last operating SR&RL steam locomotive and was ultimately used to scrap the railroad. Not much remains of Maine's largest 2-ft. narrow gauge railroad.

Golden Bound
In the 1940s the Colorado and Southern's narrow gauge line west of Golden, Co was in its twilight years. The mining trade had diminished leaving barely enough traffic to sustain its existence. Finally, in 1941 the C&S's Colorado Central line was destined for abandonment. With the exception of the segment currently operated by the Georgetown Loop Railroad, nothing remains of the C&S narrow gauge west of Denver. "Golden Bound" represents one of the last clean up trains drifting downgrade through Clear Creek Canyon toward Golden.

Old No. 8
Bridgton and Harrison No. 8 prepares for a mid-day run to Bridgton Junction, ME in the Fall of 1940. By the early 1940's many of the Maine two-foot narrow gauge railroads had been abandoned. One of the last holdouts was the Bridgton and Harrison surviving on tourist traffic and excursions until alas it finally succumbed to its financial burdens. Old No. 8 survives to this day at the Maine Narrow Gauge Museum. The image shown here was featured on the Cover of The Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette in 2004.
