Yet it was a short-lived railroad in comparison with many of its peers. It has been the subject of chapters in several books on the history of railroading in the Rockies, as well as of numerous magazine articles. What more is there to be said about it?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eThere is a great amount more, as Tivis Wilkins has shown. Past accounts not only have contained inaccuracies but have omitted information significant and even essential for an understanding of its history. Hitherto unknown photographs illustrating its equipment and operations have been found. Historic maps have contributed new knowledge. The sum of this material has proved so ample as to require an entire issue of the Colorado Rail Annual to tell the story.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eA publication of the Colorado Railroad Museum, the Colorado Rail Annual serves several purposes. It provides a format for the publication and therefore the preservation of the knowledge acquired through detailed and serious research into the history of the railroad industry in the Rocky Mountain West, especially the narrow gauge lines in the Colorado Rockies and their successors. Its content incorporates much local history of towns and industries in this region through their relationships with the railroads that served them. It provides a means of distributing and insuring the preservation of significant historical data contained within the manuscript, personal papers and corporate records collections of the Colorado Railroad Museum and other libraries and depositories, all of which help to explain from at least one point of view how Colorado and the Rocky Mountain Region became what they are today. And through heavy use of illustrations and maps, the Colorado Rail Annual serves to preserve the graphic record of a part of the Rocky Mountain past. Finally, the profits from sale of the publication help the Colorado Railroad Museum to persevere in its mission.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eThe Colorado Railroad Museum is the property of the Colorado Railroad Historical Foundation, a non-profit, educational organization whose objective is to preserve as far as possible tangible documentary, graphic, and artifactual remains of the historic railroads which have operated in the Rocky Mountain West. This program is centered at the Colorado Railroad Museum, where the Foundation has collected together a number of locomotives, passenger ears, freight cars, work ears, a half mile of track, switch stands, lanterns, tools - indeed all categories of the physical remains of Rocky Mountain railroading. In a building which approximates the appearance of an old depot, the Museum exhibits photographs, documents, dining ear china, ticket punches, and all of the smaller categories of artifacts associated with Colorado railroad history. Here, too, the Museum maintains, at present without formal staff, an excellent library of books and documents pertaining to railroad history, including document collections representing segments of the official records of many Colorado railroads. On occasions, the Museum operates some of its equipment, such as historic narrow gauge locomotive No. 346 built in 1881, thus recreating if only momentarily a glimpse of the past in the form of \"living history.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eAnd at this point your editor has come full circle, because one of the Museum's current projects which the profits from publication of this issue of the Colorado Rail Annual will help to further is the restoration to functioning condition, and subsequent occasional operation, of a narrow gauge locomotive which was built in 1896 to serve as Engine No. 8 of the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad. Here, then, is that railroad's history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eAll pictures are of the actual item.  There may be reflection from the lights in some photos.   We try to take photos of any damage.    If this is a railroad item, this material is obsolete and no longer in use by the railroad.  Please email with questions.
