Even at 10,000 feet, the weeds are making descent progress at burying the siding near the east end of the siding of Malta. This is the siding closest to Leadville and the location where the lead to the yard at Leadville left the mainline. The lead and the yard in Leadville were remove many, many years ago.

Okay, maybe I indulged with an extra "many". I guess the yard was removed within the last 15 years too...hehe.

Many many years ago? Now come on Kevin it wasn't that long ago was it?
