Remarks & Notes |
La Veta Pass A westbound train of 18 empty hoppers heads up the 3% grade above Occidental. The DRGW rated any given locomotive for less tonnage here than on Tennessee Pass. The Spring Creek fire of 2018 destroyed 108000 acres and was the third largest fire in Colorado history. The forest is already beginning to re-bound with fresh green slopes. |
