Kate Burke’s Western History series explores the Red Mountain Mining District and explains how the the narrow gauge Silverton Train navigated got there.
Three engineering feats conquered seemingly impossible odds …7% grades, 30-degree curves, and passes over 11,000 feet so the trains could supply the mines, smelters, and mining communities.
Kate will also suggest related summer attractions in Silverton with a Q&A.
FREE program with a short business meeting prior to the presentation.
Open to the public. Questions? Call MaryJo at 970 417 4236.
