Um...can you believe this? Someone laid track in Central City!
I know nothing about it other than Brett Wiebold over on the Narrow Gauge Discussion Forum happened on it recently and took a photo (the pic below).
Could this be related to these previous attempts (and this) to rebuild this line (for the third time!).
UPDATE: The group doing the work has a website with the following statement:
The Central City Railroad and Mining Museum is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of Colorado's history through heritage tourism.
In August 1968, that the Colorado Central Narrow Gauge Railroad first started operations as a tourist line in Central City; we are here to bring this history to life once more.
Our founders and board of trustees are dedicated to the preservation and restoration of a historic icon of the Amercian West: the stream powered, narrow gauge railway.
The CCRRMM is currently rebuilding a the historic Colorado&Central Railroad line and is renovating the historic depot as museum. Based in Central City, Colorado and working in tandem with the City Government, the Gilpin County Historical Society, and other private parties, the CCRRMM has a target date of 2021 to accept visitors.
