Railroads: Colorado Midland Railway

Colorado Midland Railroad, "High Bridge" above Buena Vista, Colorado

Our next stop has resources for the Colorado Midland Railway. Leadville was on the line which ran from Grand Junction to Colorado Springs. It was the first standard gauge railroad built over Colorado's Continental Divide. It was a difficult line to operate as it had very little level track.
