Text Appearing Before Image:
as you look aheador back. There was no sun in the Gorge, but it slanted down the oppositemountain wall as the party returned through the canon, increasingthe surpassing beauty of the scene. Leaving the Arkansas Canon, and traversing the upper ArkansasValley, as lovely as it is narrow, the train begins to scale the heightsof Marshall Pass. The serrated peaks of the Sangre de Cristo arein full view at the west, and the scene is indescribably grand. Twoponderous engines puff and tug upward with their train of humanfreight. Looking far away towards the summit, a narrow rim or lineis seen. That is the track over which we are to pass to the sum-mit, said the conductor. Winding around the mountains, throughthe deepj wild ravines, ascending from one hundred and fifty to twohundred and ten feet to the mile, in one hour the train triumphantlygains the summit, ten thousand seven hundred and sixty feet abovethe sea. Such a panorama here opens to the view! The Sangre de MARVELS OF ENTERPRISE. 281
Text Appearing After Image:
The above cut shows the marvellous railroading over Marshall Pass. The Pass is entered almost im-perceptibly from Poncha Pass, and the whole wonderful ascent might very readily be imagined as one andthe same. The summit is almost eleven thousand feet above the sea, and the tortuous method by whichthe daring engineers of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad have achieved this summit can best he un-derstood by studying this cut, which illustrates the alignment of the track. 282 MARVELS OF THE NEW WEST.
