The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing breathtaking landscapes is undeniable. The photograph showcases a narrow ledge along the side of a steep cliff, where railway tracks have been laid out with meticulous precision. It's an awe-inspiring display of engineering amidst the rugged wilderness that surrounds it. The sheer cliffs rise majestically in the background, creating a dramatic backdrop for this daring feat of transportation infrastructure. As we gaze at this monochrome masterpiece from Scenic Marvels of the New World edited by Prof. Geo. R. Cromwell, we can't help but marvel at the audacity and determination required to construct such a railway track in such treacherous terrain.

This remote location in Colorado represents both man's triumph over nature and his relentless pursuit to connect distant corners of our vast country.
