Como, Colorado 1929-2018
Como, Colorado was once the division point for the Denver, South Park & Pacific, which eventually became the Colorado & Southern Railway. The line from Denver reached Como and then split with one route to Gunnison via the Alpine Tunnel and the other over Boreas Pass and onto Leadville.
Incredible work has been done in the last several years to restore the roundhouse, turntable, and depot. New track has been laid and excursions are run occasionally with a steam locomotive.
I visited Como in 2018 for the first time since my first visit in 2004. The restoration is simply mind-boggling as you can see in the differences of the photos.
If you haven't been to Como, this will give you a small look at the dramatic changes that have happened and a look inside the 1881 roundhouse. In just the year since we visited in 2018, more rolling stock has arrived and more track has been laid. These are exciting times for those with a passion for the DSP&P/C&S!

Colorado Cycling Keystone to Dillon Bike Path
Colorado Cycling Keystone to Dillon Bike Path -
This is one of my favorite stretches of the Summit County Rec Path.
This paved bike and hike path stretches from Breckenridge to Keystone, Copper Mountain, Frisco, Dillon, and Vail. I'm still new to exploring it and have not seen all of the paths yet.
One of the many great things about Summit County, and specifically Breckenridge is that the public transit and bike paths are so wonderful that a car is absolutely unnecessary here.
I have been injured and unable to get too adventurous since February, 2015. I hope to start on some single-track in the next month or two. First I have to focus on just learning to walk again though.
There are plenty of hardcore bicycling activities in Summit County, from downhill mountain biking that is supported by ski lifts and gondolas to skate parks and dirt jump tracks.
Make sure to visit our youtube channel and website often for more amazing mountain videos!

Vail Eagle Bahn Gondola
Vail's Eagle Bahn Gondola (#19) travels from Lionshead Village to Eagle's Nest and Adventure Ridge, serving all of the Lionshead area trails in the process. With a capacity of 3,000 people per hour, the Eagle Bahn was the highest capacity monocable gondola in the United States when built in 1996 by Garaventa CTEC until it was surpassed by the Village Gondola at Mammoth (and later at Vail Gondola One) in 2002. The bottom terminal is an enclosed terminal adjacent to the Born Free Express bottom terminal, and the top terminal is located inside of the Eagle's Nest Building; both terminals have cabin parking. Many cabins have been dedicated and given new graphics, such as a cabin for the 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships and one dedicated to Vail's founders. It replaced the old Lionshead 4 passenger bicable Bell gondola, which ran from 1969 to 1996 and was the site of the 1976 accident (caused by a frayed track rope) that took 4 lives and injured 8 others. Eagle Bahn has the 8th highest VTFH (Vertical Transport Feet Per Hour) in North America, calculated by multiplying capacity by vertical rise, and is a rough metric used to estimate efficiency of a lift. Eagle Bahn has a vertical rise of 2,215 feet and a total inclined length of 9,148 feet, and hold down tower #1 has a new Doppelmayr lifting frame and sheaves. The lift has Garaventa CTEC AK-1251 double gripe and CWA X 12 passenger cabins, the largest in Colorado. It is one of the busiest lifts in the state of Colorado, running day and night during the winter and a large chunk of the summer due to Vail's Epic Discovery program. With huge towers, large cabins, and significant vertical, the Eagle Bahn Gondola is an iconic symbol of Vail Mountain and one of my personal favorite lifts.

Rotary Snow Plow
A rotary snow plow is a piece of railroad snow fighting equipment. It is characterized by the large circular set of blades on its front end that rotate as a unit to cut through the snow on the track ahead of it. The precursor to the rotary snowplow was the wedge snowplow.
