...built in the 1880s as part of a rail empire connecting commercial outposts and mining camps, cuts a meandering 64-mile-long swath through frontier history along the mountainous border between Colorado and New Mexico. From Memorial Day weekend to mid-October, steam-driven locomotives, restored to mint condition and fired by tons of hand-stoked coal, maneuver around bends and across streambeds and pant up grades as steep as 4% on a track measuring just 36 in. between the rails...

More importantly, don't put down the other Houses that have great spirit just because it's lacking in your own. It's not about whether you live at the River...
...school. Anyone who graduates from a state-accredited high school is eligible for admission. So Lincoln is attracting white commuter students from nearby farm towns who probably couldn't get admitted anywhere else. But Lincoln president David Henson insists that despite changing demographics, "the university's culture is still driven for the most part by African-American standards." All incoming students must take courses on cultural diversity and African-American history...
