Railroads and regional futures in Colorado and beyond
The Denver Pacific is placed under new management with fare cuts to Denver to Cheyenne at seven dollars and promises to run in Denver’s interest. A Longmont to Cheyenne extension via Fort Collins is announced, contingent on bond votes. Rival lines expect competition and wider rail access, while Denver risks economic spillover to other towns. A broad discussion follows on railroad-led growth, central towns versus small settlements, and a Mayes office order limiting politicians in government roles. The Crook City Indian raid ends with the murder of Laughlin McLaurin and theft of stock and goods.
