Description
-
Workers cottages near the Busk Tunnel in the Sawatch Mountains in Colorado. The Sawatch Mountain Range is a portion of the larger Rocky Mountain Range and is located in central Colorado. The Busk Tunnel was originally constructed in 1891 as a rail tunnel for the Colorado Midland Railroad. The tunnel has since been converted to an aqueduct to bring water to Pueblo and Aurora, Colorado. The image shows two workers cottages built into the steep landscape of the mountains and they appear to be one to two room single story structures. Large boulders cover the landscape around the houses along with trees and other scrub bushes.
