Narrow gauge in Cripple Creek, Colorado

This narrow gauge steam train, or what is left of it, used to run from Cripple Creek in Colorado, to Victor. Now adays only a small part of the line is operated, but the aim is to raise money for restouring the entire line, as I understand. That will be something. A very nice narrow gauge steam railroad in this small town, consisting mainly of a fire station and a dozencasinos.
When we visited, it was the day of the United States Army, which offered a great variety of entertainment, as the "war" between the nazis and the US army. Guess who won ;-)
