Just meant the string of cars was boring, no locomotive or anything. Setting WAS lovely 

Wife & I did the drive from Denver to Steamboat Springs & back one trip.  
Scenery out there is magnificent.

Amazing. I wonder what year that is.  

Mid to late 60s based on the cars? I believe the trestle came down in 68 so probably just before then.

Also is that route 209 that runs along the Lehigh River? Traffic sucked back then, too! I remember when there was only one tunnel on the NE extension, and what a mess it was on Friday evening and Sunday evening.

Best quote from that article: 

 

Moreno has been charged with one count of train wrecking, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison.
 

So "Train Wreck" is officially against the law. Some of the threads on this site should be charged.

The wooden match reminds me of musikfest which I need to get back to this year, if there is one.

We're always at Musikfest!
