The manned helpers are pushing as the train is departing Livingston in order to ascend the east slope of Bozeman Pass. This would be the last picture of MRL units I would take on this particular trip. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 105312 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, July 11, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed West of Buena Vista Buena Vista, CO 2740 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots CMR This picture was taken along County Road 371 west (geographically north) of Buena Vista. These tunnels were not created for the road. This is actually part of the original grade of the Colorado Midland Railway. The "Midland" started in Colorado Springs and departed west, climbing over Hayden Divide and Trout Creek Pass before arriving in Buena Vista alongside the Rio Grande. At Crystal Lake, the Midland turned west and went over the Continental Divide at Hagerman Pass. The three passes and the steep grades (in excess of 4% in places) ultimately led to the downfall of the Midland. It was abandoned in 1918 and the tracks were ripped out in 1920.
