Stopping for water at Tank Creek. It may be difficult to see but the water tank spout is down and the tender is taking on water. I enjoy the details in this simulator.

Thanks Railroader!

Here we have a D&RG 2-6-0 hauling empty ore cars to Silverton. Still headed north along the Animas River.

This capture is just a few feet further along the track.

This is the Matevie Brothers saw mill located at Teft. The brothers mill ties for the D&RG and timbers for the mining industry.

Still heading north to Silverton.

There are trees on the mountains in the distance in game but they don't show in the screen shot.

Entering the valley area of Silverton. There were many silver and other ore mines here. Only four were modeled. The ruins of these can still be seen on Google Earth.
