At one time, it seemed as though every canyon and pass leading into
Colorado's high country was a path laid with 3-foot gauge narrow
gauge railroad. Dreams of tapping the riches of mining discoveries
in mountain locations made this almost true. But mining can be a
fleeting adventure, and as the state matured, so too did the
railroads that crisscrossed it. Many railways succumbed to
disappearing tonnage, becoming trackless trails among the
mountainsides. But on many routes, the railroads of Colorado have
flourished and provide necessary transportation avenues for a
modern economy. In addition, tucked away in several corners of the
state are remnants of Colorado's narrow gauge past, still
steam-powered and now lively to the tune of tourist dollars.
Popular state slogan 'Colorful Colorado' describes this incredible
place well, and is assuredly most appropriate while viewing the
wonders of railroading in the spectacular Rocky Mountains of the
West.
