At the height of Americaas postaCivil War expansion, Colorado
Territory was a land of great hope and opportunity. Forged at the
confluence of commerce and geography, Colorado became a state in
1876, and Denver, the Queen City of the Plains. To address the
growing need for efficient transportation throughout the state,
early railroads such as the Kansas Pacific and the Denver and Rio
Grande were built in
the 1870s. Serving all of these routes was the Denver Union Depot
with its commodious dual-gauged tracks. These asteel roadsa would
become the regionas economic lifeblood, hauling freight and
passengers to the booming mountain mining towns, returning with
ores for processing, and serving as the direct link for passengers
and freight between the Rocky Mountains and the industrialized
East.
