@WoelkerVideo ! HAHAHA ! The bears will go for something younger and tasty. Thank YOU GUNTER. You are quite right that if they wanted too, the bears would find it easy to climb into the train.

I wonder if the workers encountered bears (& other wild animals) when building the railroad out there????

@BaltimoreAndOhioRR Long gone grizzly bears & wolves were in the mix during construction of the narrow gauge and the replacement standard gauge from Denver to Alamosa. Black bears are still common. Lynx were brought back in the San Juans and have spread to these Sangre de Cristo Mtns. Elk, antelope, deer, beaver are common sights on the train. Mountain lions stay out of sight. Coyote, fox, big horn sheep might be seen. Most wildlife is in the bar lounge car.
