A booklet to do with the Colorado history and narrow gauge railroads.
The three decades following the Civil War witnessed constant railroad planning, promoting and building activity throughout Western Colorado at an almost feverish pitch. In 1870 Colorado's first railroad, the standard gauge Denver Pacific, was completed from Denver to the Union Pacific line at Cheyenne; the Kansas Pacific reached Denver from Kansas City; and the Colorado Central Railroad opened a standard gauge line between Golden and Denver. Save for the panic in 1873, the rush was on. The next twenty years would see at least one and often several railroads planned up every canyon, pass, creek-bed and level spot in the Colorado Rockies. Some were envisioned as great systems reaching the Pacific; others were more frankly designed to tap the lucrative mining traffic; and some merely degenerated from the former to the latter.
