Boreas Pass, Colorado

- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- Boreas Pass is located between Breckenridge and Como, Colorado. It was used by the Denver South Park & Pacific Railroad and the 1881 section house still exists. (The engine house and snowsheds no longer exist.). Boreas Pass is located at the Continental Divide at an elevation of 11,538'. Summit County is on the west side of it and Park County is on the east side.
Great video, showing what started it all in 1995, when we laid the track at Windy(not rocky) Point , and the restoration of the section house, which prompted the creation of the 1st RR day that year!
Fantastic video! The drone work, especially the shots showing the grade and rock work were wonderful. Thanks for your work!
Great railroad history and scenery at Boreas Pass. Have hiked in he area a number of time. Need to return and examine the progress being made at Como. Thanks.
Great footage James thanks for what you do for the South Park Railroad!!
In the five years I have been doing Como videos I have learned a LOT about video editing. The subject matter makes it fun! ;-)
Beautiful scenery
Thank you for sharing, greet
..ings from Germany, looking forward to be there next summer!
Note the comment from Kor Elzenga of the Netherlands - he has been visiting us every year!
Well done James!
Kor - Check out ML91's comments above. He is in Austria: it sounds as though you could make a trip here together sometime!
That's some very beautiful landscape there, sir! :) Greeting from Austria! :)

Hey there :)
Well, I think it all happend when I was looking for some kind of railroading game where you can drive a loco in first person and also do some shunting and track laying and so on.
I always was a big fan of Sid Meyers Railroad Tycoon, but it lacked those features as it is a bird's eye view tycoon game... :)
Then I found the game *Railroads online!* which was EXACTLY what I was looking for.
It is in a pre-release-state but you can already play it.
It's staged in an amazing fictive, mountainous area that instantly reminded me of the Rockies.
That lead me to the whole "narrow-gauge in the US" thing and just by clicking this and that I ended up at your channel.
After the first or second video I was looking up Como in google maps and thought "...what? Hartsel? Fariplay? SOUTH PARK? I know these places!"
That is because I'm a very, very big fan of the TV series that is staged in your beautiful part of the world! :)
Then the UA-camr by the name Hyce - who is now working in the colorado railroad museum - started his videos about that railroading game and he also told us a lot about all the narrow gauge operations that were going on in Colorado back in the days.
And so now I'm here :) It's such a cool project you have there. I was already looking at the shop you have (dspphs.org) where one can buy calendars and other merch. But do you ship to Austria as well? :D
Keep up the good work! It's so good to see people taking care of preserving history and teaching it to others.
Kind regards from Austria.

@@ML_314 Just sent your comments to our board, including so that the merchandise people can let me know. about shipping to Austria.
