KCS has recently cut all the brush around Rich Mountain to several miles north. I mean, there's not a twig remaining between the highway and the tracks in some places. There are vistas now that I have never seen before! I have been shooting pictures there since the '70's like you have. I don't know what's up with this - seems like they might be going to extend a siding or something.
ReplyDeleteFantastic Pictures, thank you !
