I was disappointed by the work on the first section out of Gold Hill. They regraded the entire ROW and it looked like a modern freeway rather than the typical historic V&T. I can often tell about when a railroad was built according to how it is graded. The "new" V&T I saw lookled like 1960s or newer with cleanly sloped cuts instead of the 1860's hand grading.
Just my opinion.
