The narrow gauge Georgetown Loop Railroad, located on the historic Colorado & Southern railroad line between Georgetown and Silver Plume, Colorado, was rebuilt by the Colorado Historical Society and opened as a tourist railroad in 1974. The famous high bridge was reconstructed and reopened to traffic in 1984. For two decades the Loop was operated for the Colorado Historical Society by Lindsey and Rosa Ashby. We visit the railroad in the summers of 1996 and 1997, and view the Ashby's former West Side Lumber Company 3-truck Shays Nos. 12 and 14 in operation, along with former International Railways of Central America 2-8-0 No. 40. The cars are mostly D&RGW in origin, including three open air cars that were built for the 1948-49 Chicago Railroad Fair. This equipment is now at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, where it is occasionally used for rides. The Georgetown Loop is still operating today with different locomotives and cars.
