The Northern Division of the Colorado & Southern Railway, like the steam locomotives which once prevailed along its scenic trackage, is only a memory. Since September of 1963, this vital segment of the longest north-south railroad system in the West has been known as the Denver Division, with numerous changes in its operational and administrative makeup. The old Northern Division main line consisted of that portion of the Colorado & Southern which extends from Denver. Colorado to Guernsey, Wyoming, a distance of 250 miles. With the demise of the old South Park Division in 1937, the Northern Division also fell heir to 110 miles of C. & S. narrow gauge line in Colorado, all that remained of the once-extensive three-foot gauge trackage of the Colorado Central and the Denver, South Park & Pacific.
The reader who searches the pages of this volume for an extensive history of either the Colorado & Southern Railway or its Northern Division will do so in vain. The history of this railroad has been previously covered in Gulf to the Rockies and Burlington Route, two masterful, comprehensive works by R. C. Overton which leave little more to be said about this subject. The motive power enthusiast who desires more details of construction and dimensions of C. & S. steam locomotives as well as vivid photographic comparisons to those of the parent C. B. & Q. should consult Stearn Locomotives of the Burlington Route, a peerless and fascinating treatise on this subject by Corbin and Kerka. As for the narrow gauge lines of the road, it would be futile and superfluous to attempt to add to the vast store of information and data already compiled on these lines in the two monumental productions of the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club; Mac Poor's Denver South Park & Pacific and Pictorial Supplement to Deaver South Park & Pacific by Kindig, Haley and Poor.
