Is that the approach to Marshall Pass?  If so, it would be in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison.

I tuned in late today, wife's got me working on some outside jobs.  :D

Bob,

This is east coast, not Colorado.

Saluda is in the carolinas. Very steep grade down from Saluda to Melrose and at some points over 5%. They originally built two safety tracks to stop runaway trains but only one is needed. speed is 8 MPH tops. This hill has claimed a few trains and lives. But its all history now. Its no longer being used and may turn into rails to trails.

Read yoiur last post, you said  Salida   not Saluda.  I have a picture of Marshall Pass that looks very much like it.

Probably a typo, the 'u' and the 'i' on the keyboard are right next to each other.
