I did two versions one with background music:

And the other highlighting the onboard sound systems:

It is interesting that background music can enhance, or detract,
from what is visual. Myself, I like the background music, gives
is a sort of "water color" feel. What is your preference?

there WAS a actual Wyoming & Colorado Railroad that ran south out of Laramie to Foxpark, Colorado
it originally went to Coalmont to serve the mines
I rode it once in the 90s
was torn up in 2007 & is now a rail trail

the line was formerly Laramie North Park & Western
that should be familiar as Tyco made a cattle car with LNP&W on it

Interesting history, but sad another rail line turned into
another rail trail. Though, hearing this, maybe I'll get
a chance to take my bike up their to ride it, bet the
ride has to be interesting.

theres a place at Albany where the tracks went around the town
the switchback is called Albany Loops
like a few S curves to gain elevation
Foxpark is as far as I went but usually train went to & I made a mistake in my 1st statement
Walden, Colorado
my parents rode it that far

At the time that was Wyoming's ONLY tourist railroad!
the Terry Bison Ranch has a small train around the area
