The distance between the two towns is scarcely a mile by wagon road. The elevation is more than a thousand feet, and to make this climb with a train was one of the most difficult problems in engineering ever presented on the American continent. To climb a thousand feet in one mile of track would mean a 20 per cent grade. The maximum in use on any railroad in the world, cog or cable roads, is about 8 per cent. So it was necessary to plan a road no less than four miles long and build it in the little pocket in the mountains, scarcely large enough to be called a canyon. The road twists and turns and forms a complete bow knot. At one point the tracks pass over a high bridge from which a thrilling view of Georgetown can be secured--almost a balloon picture. The picture starts far back in the loop and shows a long passenger train ahead. A group of pretty girls on the platform adds life to the scene. Around the twists and turns the camera rushes, crossing the high bridge and following the other train until Georgetown is again in sight and the valley opens up in unrivaled grandeur.
