There's an old railroad line that started in Laramie Wyoming and went up into the mountains and I think ended around the Colorado boarder. It was used initially to haul out timbers to make ties. Then it turned into a tourist train and I rode it as a little kid with my mom and grandma. Unfortunately when the price of scrap metal went high, they tore it up for scrap. A **** shame.
There's old railroads all over southern Wyoming and northern Colorado. Mostly to haul ore and timber out of the mountains. Lots of history rr history around here, people come from all over to experience it.
