The Georgetown Loop Railroad!
The narrow gauge Georgetown Loop Railroad was built by the Georgetown, Breckenridge and Leadville Railway, and was completed in 1884 and considered an engineering marvel for its time. The thriving mining towns of Georgetown and Silver Plume lie 2 miles 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 more than 600 feet in elevation. The route included horseshoe curves, grades of up to 4%, and four bridges across Clear Creek, including the massive Devil's Gate High Bridge.
Between 1906 and 1918, the Georgetown Loop connected with the Argentine ...
