That's great, Bseed! My great-grandfather engineered the grading of the RR tracks through Glenwood Canyon, in Colorado, where this would have to go through. I have some wonderful, very old pictures of him and his big freight wagon with some humungous horses. Also, my great-uncle engineered the Moffat (RR) Tunnel in Colorado.

I've printed this off to send to my dad. He will really enjoy it. Besides growing up with both of them around, his grandad and dad had the first threshing service on the Western Slope of Colorado, more big horses involved in that. When dad grew older, he joined the operation.

Thanks for sharing this!
