In the early 1870s, W.A.H. Loveland built a railroad connecting Denver to the Clear Creek Mining District-the Colorado Central Railroad. Over the next 28 years, other lines were established, bought, sold, extended, and merged to service the mining towns of Black Hawk, Central City, Idaho Springs, and Silver Plume. In 1898, the Union Pacific, Denver \u0026amp; Gulf, and the Denver Leadville \u0026amp; Gunnison were combined to form the Colorado \u0026amp; Southern Railway. After more than 40 years of dedication to the Clear Creek District, the railroad was scrapped in 1941. However, tourism would revitalize the area, and in the years to come a group of enthusiasts began to rebuild a portion of the old right of way. Toady, the spirit of the C\u0026amp;S is alive again, and rail fans can make the same journey over \"The Loop\" that thrilled tourists a century ago.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 073852929X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.073852929X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lewis, Allan C.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
