South Fork CO

South Fork, Colorado was the home to a standard gauge railroad line that made its way to Creede, Colorado. This was intended to be a tourist line, but fortunes didn't go their way and it is shut down awaiting a new buyer. It is unclear if this line will survive.

Here are some images of the equipment and facilities to be found there.

I've read where the door castings for narrow gauge box cars are in short supply for some narrow gauge railroads. I photographed those castings from this car for reference.
