There is a lot of that here, where all the old coal mines were serviced by rail, including the ghostly outlines of two towns that have disappeared. The Canon City - Florance region is archaeologically rich with railroad remnants, old water towers, loading platforms, tipples, sidings, grades and all of it. There are even a couple of boxcars locally being used as storage sheds for farmers.
