Another great one! Thanks for preserving this history!

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Great video! I like the train perspective and I also like the train noises! It makes it seem much more real!

Thanks!

Thank you for not cluttering this up with endless talk or cheesy bluegrass.

[@searchingforthecsnarrowgau8853]

Ha! I have the same feelings about that on other videos, especially that digitized royalty-free bluegrass stuff. I love the Larry Boy name by the way! Our kids grew up on Veggietales.

Great video - I Have followed many an old right of way myself but none in Colorado.

It's a fun hobby. I think I enjoy the sense of being on an 'archaeological' adventure when traveling abandoned grades.

Thank you for more video footage of this area of the Alpine Tunnel RR. When did the Midway Tank collapse? I don't know if I am remembering the other tank or this one. No matter always interesting to see historical photos of time gone bye.

I really don't know when Midway collapsed. I've never seen a photo of it (during operation or after) when it was intact.

Don't look down, don't look down, don't look down....

[@searchingforthecsnarrowgau8853]

I know! I love the 'shelf' grade along this portion. It's a shame there aren't any operation-era photos of this segment.

[@Jason-Rose]

Outstanding, Kurt. I believe each video you produce is better than the previous.
Thanks for what you do!

[@searchingforthecsnarrowgau8853]

As always, thank you!
