What better way to spend a one-year anniversary with a significant other, than to take a train ride through the heart of the west! On July 9th, we took a trip out to Leadville, Colorado to hop aboard the 10 AM trip aboard the Leadville, Colorado & Southern Railway! In this video, we depart northbound on the old C&S Climax line-a once famous and busy line that stemmed from the Denver & Rio Grande Western's Tennessee Pass Subdivision. We leave town and head into the trees in front of GP9 #1918. We stop short of the old Climax mine, then try our hand at making some good echoing with #1918's horn. Afterward, we head downhill to a small station stop, where we take a quick cab tour! Be sure to check out Part 2, where we pull through the Leadville Yards up to the depot. Song is a Karaoke Version of "Beer For My Horses" by the great Toby Kieth and Willie Nelson.
