Another Cog Railway Ascent
by admin on Jan.01, 2024, under Colorado
Sam was in for the holidays from Germany, so among all the outings we did, a trip to the top of Pikes Peak via The Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway was in order. And indeed it was a fun trip as usual.

All Aboard!
The rails of a railroad track are kept shiny on the top by the regular passage of trains. Thus, "To Shiny Rails" is the battle cry of my personal effort to keep railroading activities of all kinds available to as many people as possible.
