Anyone have any information on this railroad? What freight it carries?
All I come up with is some kind of tourist railroad in Colorado. It seems to be owned by Iowa Pacific RR.
I'm beginning to put together a little HO layout at home (all my O Gauge railroading is now done at my friend's large basement layout), and I stumbled upon this handsome Kato engine .... got me interested.
Thanks
Jim

Runs La Veta CO (connection w/ BNSF) to Alamos, Alamosa to Antonito and Alamosa to Monte Vista (connection w/ San Luis Central).
Tourist Rio Grande Scenic runs Alamosa to La Veta. Great trip. Also offers connections Alamosa to Antonito in order to ride the Cumbres & Toltec.

Thanks, Chip .... for the info and for the link! I had struck out searching.
Very interesting little railroad. I think I found my little modeling project.
"The highest point on the SLRG at La Veta Pass, is 9,242 feet above sea level, the highest rail freight line in North America."
