My mate Steve from Puffing Billy just sent me some digital shots of a mixed train special excursion recently run there. It is very reminiscent of the waning days of the Colorado narrow gage in the foothills, but a bit greener. This is big time intensively operated steam mountain railroading, don't let the picturesque name out you off.
