Day 46 – Wed. May 27th: Georgetown Loop Train

<– Day 45 – Tue. May 26th: South Park | TRIP OVERVIEW | Day 47 – Thu. May 28th: Back to the Springs –>
Today my only objective was to ride the Georgetown Loop train and explore the Lebanon Mine in Colorado.
Today I completed a short drive to Georgetown, where I boarded a train for the Lebanon Mine.
It wasn’t altogether clear to me at first, but after I boarded the train I learned that the Georgetown Loop train didn’t run in a loop. Instead, it runs between Silver Plume, the western terminus of the ride, and the Devil’s Gate Station, the eastern terminus. Essentially, it runs up the canyon and then back down. Technically, there is a loop, as the train does cross under its own track, but to me that distinction wasn’t clear in the name.
Silver Plume station
The ‘crowd’ waiting to board.
I boarded the train at Silver Plume and we headed south for a couple miles. At that point we disembarked for a guided tour of the Lebanon Tunnel. Our guide was a friendly young lady who was more interested in being funny than providing interesting information. But, I was after more technical information than the average visitor. Near the end of the tour, I ended up answering some participant questions and explaining that smelting lead was an important financial component of the silver-lead mining and smelting process.
After our half hour tour, we boarded the train for a trip down to the Devil’s Gate station, before heading back up the mountain to the Silver Plume Station. I was surprised we never reached Georgetown. 
If you’ve never ridden the train, or want to share the experience with your kids, you’ll probably enjoy this ride and the mine tour. However, I would have preferred to skip the train and get a more thorough mine experience.
On thursday we have nothing planned, except to drive to Colorado Springs, where we will stay a few days.

Jeep Parts in Toledo, Ohio
You might remember the auction that took place on May 18th. Jay Margolies, the owner of the parts and operator of Willys Overland, reported to me yesterday that not much sold at auction. Jay would really like to sell these parts, preferably in large lots. If he can’t find a buyer, he may be forced to send them to salvage (which is not his preference). So, if are interested in obtaining parts, contact Jay Margolies at 419-531-0707.

I wonder how well those front mud flaps hold up at higher speeds. Seems they would be flapping like mad.
“This Willy’s Jeep has been fully restored, converted to 12V system and well maintained. The engine and drive train are (to my knowledge) original and runs well. All of the sheet metal is new and has been “rhino coated” underneath and on the floor surfaces on top. All gages work, new upholstery with rear side pads as additional seating, cargo rack, spare gas can, tire, “handyman jack”, shovel, and tow bar.”

1963 CJ-5 South Jordan, UT **SOLD**
May 28, 2015 • CATEGORIES: CJ5 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
Roy spotted this CJ-5. May be a good price.
“I have a classic 1963 Willy’s Jeep CJ-5 for sale. Jeep runs and drives excellent. Everything works!! Heater, wipers, headlights, tail lights, brake lights, turn signals, horn plus extra horn. All gauges work: speedometer, gas, coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltmeter. The speedometer is new so it has only a hundred or so reading on it plus whatever im still putting on it.
It has roughly 120,000 miles. The jeep has a gray Besttop soft top. Its a little older and some of the stitching has come undone but still works. Could have a fabric or top place re-stitch for a fair price I would imagine but I haven’t looked into it yet. I prefer no top but sometimes you need one, and it works. This jeep is old but considering its year it drives excellent!!!!
It has a 4 cylinder motor, 3 speed manual tranny, and 4 wheel drive. NO power brakes or power steering. Jeep has a factory winch on the front that has cables that operate it from in the cab. It was off when I got the jeep so It is not currently hooked up yet, but I plan on tinkering with it a little when I have some free time just cause i’m curious and want to try it out. It is a slow go-er but “The Duke” will get up to freeway speeds and keep up with traffic but you must consider in 1963 they were only made to go 50-55 mph. Suprisingly it handles pretty good at the faster speeds.
The brakes could use a little work it pulls to the right when stopping fast but il try to bleed it again to see if it helps. drum brakes all around so they will only be as good as manual drum brakes can be. All in all great classic Willy’s Jeep that works and can be registered immediately. It should pass safety and immisions it has been registered every year since at least 88′ minus the last couple years it has been sitting in the garage. Come check it out or give me a call or text. I work nights but leave me a message and il get back to you, $2,700″
