Subject: RE: Railroading Over The Great Divide
Bill D.: yo'll be interested to know that last year I heard, I kid you not, that the Moffat Tunnel is for sale!

And, I can relate to almost sliding off the mountains. Ah...the Colorado Rockies before the Eisenhower Tunnel! My dad tells some pretty hairaising stories about trundling off in the mountains with mom when they were young, about teh time you said you were there. Have you ever been over Red Mountain Pass, from Ouray to Silverton, then on to Durango? It's still very awesome and scary to a flatlander; they hug the inside lane A LOT!
