Pike's Peak Cog Railway

Pike's Peak Cog Railway Pike’s Peak Cog Railway
Manitou Springs CO - August 1998 trip

Unfortunately the little steam locos no longer make the trip to the peak

Some of the scenery approaching a passing siding

The maximum grade is 25% - a bit more than the Lazy Acre RR’s 5% grades

At the top - and it was cold. I saw some pockets of snow on the way up
I should have been wearing more than short sleeves, shorts and sandals

14,110 ft - no wonder it was this cold - even in August
The buffalo burgers and cocoa were worth every overpriced penny!
