Ride the Leadville, Colorado & Southern in 1991


L,C & S 1991 Media from Kurt Maechner on Vimeo.

Another home video I transferred from my old VHS tapes of a family vacation to Colorado in 1991.  Here we ride the Leadville, Colorado, & Southern.  It includes shots of C&S 641 on display next to the Leadville depot, the old narrow gauge roundhouse-turned-standard gauge engine house, French Gulch water tank, and the old C&S Leadville freight house.

My favorite views are those of the engine traversing the narrow shelf right-of-way along the steep mountainside of 10 mile canyon.
