Doing it on a rail bike sounds way cool. Chuck Date: 06/01/23 11:08 Re: Rail Bikes at South Park, Colorado, 30 May 2023 Author: callum_out This was never narrow gauge, was the standard gauge line from Alamosa to Creede AND it's
still for sale for something over 3 million at last report. Out Date: 06/02/23 01:27 Re: Rail Bikes at South Park, Colorado, 30 May 2023 Author: ATSF1129 callum_out Wrote:
