When the line was first projected the engineers were laughed at for suggesting the route down that awful chasm, and even when the preliminary surveys were taken it was necessary to lower the men and instruments down the vertical sides of the granite walls by means of steel cables. Later the same means were employed to permit the drillers to sink blast holes in the solid rock. When the road was finished the tracks were laid along a narrow shelf perched a thousand feet above a tiny little stream. The picture shows the snow-capped monarchs of the Rockies in the background, as well as the narrow shelf on which the rails were laid. Written by Selig catalog See less
