Palmer Lake and The Joint Line
by admin on Jun.19, 2020, under Colorado
I’ve spent a couple days now with Matteo and AJ fishing at Palmer Lake. Myself, I’ve been chillin’. The spot is an interesting railroad location. It’s along The Joint Line (history). The UP side (pictured here) is used southbound and runs along the west side of the lake. The BNSF side used to run along the east side of the lake but has since been moved further east and out of site of lake visitors. The lines were originally run by the lake for the water supply (for steam locos).

I jumped in to help another railroad history organization build a website. Check it out: RMRHS.org

Upon arrival into Cripple Creek, we went directly to the Cripple Creek & Victor Narrow Gauge Railroad for a 40-minute round trip out toward the gold mining areas and back. Live steam, coal fired! Had a great time in Cripple Creek, here’s the whole story. All the photos are here: Cripple Creek, and Victor.

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. It's tantamount to exclaiming "Keep those trains a rollin'!". And with any luck at all, I'll personally be on as many of those trains as possible! To shiny rails, Jamie
