Videos of
the Cog Railway journey up Pikes Peak
This is a picture of our yard as seen from the dispatcher's window in our depot
(elevation 6571 feet). The shed in the middle left of the image holds our
vintage equipment.
Track #3 in the middle of the picture
leads to another shed where we hold some of work equipment and some of
the smaller Swiss (80 passenger units-go here
for more info). The red brick
building (hidden partially by trees) on the middle right is the Ruxton Hydroelectric Plant. In the upper left (barely
visible on nice days) is Cameron's Cone- about 10,000 feet high). This page is updated
every 2 minutes (more or less)
when we are open (not updated at 6AM, for example). Trains come down 20 minutes before departure time
(9:20 comes down to load at 9:00, etc.) and then go up to the shop about 3 hours and 45
minutes after they depart. (9:20 AM goes up about 12:45 PM)...so this is a good time to
see trains. The morning hours usually are best as this view looks west and the afternoon
sun shines directly on the camera.
