COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—Friends and family plan to celebrate the life of Royal Gorge Route Railroad co-owner Leah Greksa on Saturday at the Arapahoe Basin ski area.
Her family says Greksa died May 16 in Georgetown due to complications from a bone marrow transplant. She had been diagnosed with a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She was 48.
Leah Jean Ashby Greksa was born in Golden. She and her husband, Mark, joined her parents in running the Georgetown Loop railroad in 1989. They later bought the Royal Gorge railroad and deployed their first train in 1999. The railroad carries about 100,000 people each year.
Leah Greksa also is survived by the couple’s daughter.
