POTD - Has Anyone Seen My Right-of-way?
It's hard to believe that only 10 years before this photo was taken, this right-of-way was part of a well-maintained transcontinental railroad system, a vital national link carrying goods and commodities from Pueblo and points east to Salt Lake City and points west. In 2006, It's hard to see it among the weeds as nature attempts to reclaim the land for its own use.
PS: If you'd like to see more of Todd's trip, he posted some of his photos on RailroadForums.com.
