WHISPERING HOLLOW
By Ian Donkin
WHISPERING HOLLOW is an imaginary place somewhere along the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad in the state of Colorado, USA, in the 1950/60's.
The area is a rather run down place that has seen better days with the railroad. Steam facilities are disappearing and the turntable and most of the shed have been knocked down. In their place is diesel re fuelling facilities.
