During my day long drive over Tennessee Pass, this was the only specific sign of significant erosion that I saw. That isn't to say that there were other spots where erosion has occurred, this is simply the only spot in which I noticed it. The plants have taken over so much of the rest of the line, it would be difficult to see any erosion anyway.

I love how the tracks in Buena Vista cut right through downtown. Must have been quite a site (and quite a sound) when a train with five SD40T-2s came through. Today, the tracks serve as little more than an artificial barrier between parking lots.

Main Street Buena Vista (literally)! With 2,600 residents, the town of Buena Vista is roughly half the size of its neighbor Salida. Interestingly, there is no siding in Buena Vista. The main line just comes through town. 100 years ago, Buena Vista was the city in which Rio Grande's Tennessee Pass was joined by the mainline for the Colorado Midland. The two railroads paralleled each other between Buena Vista and Crystal Lake. Here, an afternoon storm pushes its way east out of town.
