The Georgetown
Loop Railroad (GBL) operates excursion trains on about 5 miles of narrow
gauge trackage from Georgetown to Silver Plume, CO. Built in 1877 to serve
mines west of Denver, the line was rebuilt in the 1970's for tourist excursions.
They have 5 steam locomotives, including an operational Shay and #40 shown
below, and 2 diesel units. The locomotives below were removed from
the property in 2004, when the owner, Colorado Historical Society, changed
operations vendors. The loco's were at the Colorado Railroad Museum
in Golden, CO, in April 2006.
