Snow covered railroad ties for the shape of a cross


The land just across the Arkansas River from downtown Salida, Colorado, is now vacant and barren, owned by the Union Pacific Railroad. An artist has creatively arranged some of the relics. Salida is a historic railroad town that supported the mining industry in and around the Arkansas River Valley. The Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad laid the original tracks through the valley.
