Ride the C&S over Boreas Pass - part 2 video

This is the second part to my family's 2018 trip over Boreas Pass.  In the video, I designate location with insets corresponding to Google Earth so you have a sense of where you are on the journey over the pass.  Several sites are pointed out as well including:
-Selkirk trestle
-Selkirk water tank
-Selkirk siding
-2 different wreck sites (one from the 1890s and another from 1936)
-Boreas snowshed
-Boreas summit (more detailed film at the summit and the facilities and displays there will be in a future video)

If you expand the description in Youtube I've also created timecode links to points of interest which allows you to jump to those parts without watching all the way through.

I hope you enjoy it!

Central City and Idaho Springs Then-And-Now

I found this video of Central City and Idaho Springs enjoyable.  While there is only one then-and-now of a railroad shot, it is worth a look.  It shows what appears to be the scrap train pulled by No. 70 along Clear Creek.  The slideshow then shows the same spot today.  This can be found at 5:49.
