Boise City and Twin Peaks Subs
The US-54/ US-287 intersection east of town is the best place to see if there is any activity at Boise City. Every once in a great while, there might be a Cimmarron Valley RR grain train at interchange there coming in from the NE on the former ATSF CV District (Via Satanta & Dodge City)...
Boise City was to be a major yard and engine facility that would have rivalled La Junta or Pueblo in relative size. An awfull lot of unused infrastructure went in at Boise City south of the main track that Dining Car's staff sold off in the 1980's after it became obvious there was no need for a switching facilty there any more.
(J A Noble probably watched in frustration as the future turned to dust)
You will still be able to see the fill of the ATSF Boise City-Felt to Clayton line at Clayton from Hwy 287 near Clayton (very obvious) that died in 1942 along with the Mt Dora to Farley portion that also came out (ill-fated Colmor Cutoff bypass of Raton Pass)
Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west
