i've gotten some comments on the Palisade photo.??
Someone sent me this 1880 photo of the town
The train in my photo was curving around the cliff on the right of this shot on the track the Western Pacific built in the early 20th century.
Here are a couple of views of the town site today.? There is a ranch on the hillside, but of the town and railroad facilities on the flat land next to the river, only a couple of walls and foundations remain.
