5 Sections of Relaid C&S Track in Platte Canyon and South Park

Kurt Maechner
Here is a look at 5 places you can find C&S rails relaid on the original roadbed in Platte Canyon and South Park. Since the line was abandoned in 1937 and the rails pulled in 1938, a few spots of relaid rails have sprung up. There are five:

5. A stretch of track underneath two gondolas in Pine Grove.

4. A stretch of track underneath a caboose in Helen McGraw-Tatum Memorial Park in Bailey.

3. A rebuilt portion of the wye on top of Kenosha Pass.

2. A small segment of track underneath a caboose in Jefferson.

1. A lot of (ever-increasing!) track at the old division point of Como.
Some more info on each spot can be found on this blog post.

Enjoy!
