The old South Park railroad thrives, after a fashion, near Nathrop as the Stew's Pot & Wearsat Railroad -- a 1/28-scale layout which runs from the Wearsat depot, across the yard, and then indoors through walls and over ceilings.

Owner Stew Brown says that Wearsat, elevation 8470 and population 1, "has become a favorite tourist attraction for retirees with grandchidlren and kids's groups."

Tours are available by appointment; you can call Brown at 719- 539-6744, and you can often find him at the Salida Chamber of Commerce office, where he's a volunteer.
