I'll be interested in the answer. The last trains ran on the Royal Gorge Route in the late 60's, but the track is still there, all the way from Canon City clear up to Leadville by way of Buena Vista. For a long time, UP stored equally abandoned coal cars on the tracks until people complained that they were an eyesore and dripping rust into the river.
Now the cars are all gone but the tracks are still there, rusting away a little more each year.
