Auto highway replaces scenic railroad in west
Colorado Springs, June 14. On March 23, 1901 Cripple Creek celebrated the last spike of a famed scenic railway costing about four and a half million dollars. The line, built for ore and coal transport, is being dismantled for a scenic auto road toward Rosemont and the Broadmoor region. W. Dr. Corley, coal dealer, led the bold bid to remove the Short Line and plans to repurpose the railway equipment for mining ventures in Canon City and beyond.
