STEAM TRAIN IN SOUTHERN COLORADO

My father used to work for the Union Pacific, so did my very best friend. I missed it, but there is still time to catch it before he heads too far south. Richard

p.s. The wonderful photos were taken by Bob Leppold as the train was pulling into Colorado Springs. He was kind enough to allow me to share them with you. Thanks Bob. All the best, Richard
