CWWC 2026: Any Which Way with Outdoor Steps or Stairs. [08.14.2026]

CWWC
Cee’s Which Way Challenge

Welcome back to the Which Way Challenge (previously hosted by Cee Neuner). This week we are exploring Outdoor Steps or Stairs. You may not ordinarily think about photographing Outdoor Steps or Stairs, I usually do. So many places Coleman and I hike have Outdoor Steps or Stairs along trails which we climb to get to our intended destination before completing our journey.

These are some of the Outdoor Steps or Stairs we have climbed … at The Schiele Museum of Natural History in Gastonia, North Carolina.

2023 CWWC: Chug, Chug, Chugging Along

I was able to visit the New Braunfels Railroad Museum back in January in 2020 when I had the opportunity to visit a relative prior to taking a cruise aboard the Royal Caribbean’s Enchantment of the Seas.

Turntable Bridge and Roundhouse

The 100-foot long turntable bridge on the ring rail — the outer circular rail. The roundhouse and turntable were apart of the Southern Railway Spencer’s Shops Complex. They are part of the North Carolina Transportation Museum.

The Roundhouse is the largest one of its kind remaining in the U.S. It was built in 1924 and served as a repair shop for locomotives and rail cars. In the old days, a turntable operator was on duty to spin the table to line up with the oncoming train car so it could be maneuvered into the Roundhouse for repairs.

My grandson, Coleman and I toured the North Carolina Transportation Museum back in August of 2021. We did not ride on the turntable bridge, however, for an additional cost visitors are able to do so if they so desire.

The Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad is a 3 ft ( 914 mm) narrow-gauge heritage railroad that operates on 64 miles (103 km) of track between Antonito, Colorado, and Chama, New Mexico, in the United States. The railroad is named for 2 geographical features along the route; the Cumbres Pass and the Toltec Gorge. It was originally part of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad’s narrow-gauge network. It is jointly owned by the states of Colorado and New Mexico and has been since 1970. The very first rails for this line began to be laid down on February 20, 1980.

We are not always lucky enough to actually see a train traveling along the Railroad Trestle. I captured this particular video back on November 28, 2020 on one of the many trails Coleman & I hiked at the Anne Springs Close Greenway. Hope you enjoy as much as we did when we watched it chugging down along the tracks.
