I also mourn the passing of the Platte Canon resort and fishing culture made possible by the South Park line. It was an essential part of the Denver culture of the time. What a great release valve from the hustle bustle of a hot and dusty Denver summer - only a train ticket away. What I would give to ride the fish train and spend a warm summer day fly fishing on the South Platte. This was, and would be a fantastic resource today.
I consider myself very lucky to have a C&S logo stamped aluminum fish train circular worn box and a rectangular fly box, as well as a couple fish train schedules. When I have more time I need to read up on the Platte Canon lodges.
With greatest respect for Mr. Harry Brunk, I think the Platte canon line is of equal interest to the Clear Creek line. One last kid through college and then perhaps the I will start my long dreamed of Platte Canon-Leadville On3 layout....
