The Colorado & Southern Railroad
|
was one of the great railroading miracles whose presence greatly advanced
the development and settlement of the Colorado Rockies in the South Park region.

The Denver, South Park & Pacific
Railroad
|
Is one of the predicessors to the C&S. The DSP&P drove it's tracks south west
our of Denver in the mid 1880's to tap into the rich ore deposits in the South Park and Leadville
areas. As it's name implies, the dream was to eventually reach the Pacific Ocean.
My out door Gn3 layout is loosely based on the DSP&P RR. |
Prototype Trains
|
Though we might be avid model railroaders, the sight of magestic Prototype Trains
will always appeal to everyone.
Follow this link to some interesting photo stories of prototype railroads that we have
seen. |
