A Documentary History of the South Park Line Vol. 6: Abandonment of the Leadville District

By Daniel W. Edwards

It took nearly ten years--from 1928 to 1937-- for the Colorado & Southern Railway to get permission from the Interstate Commerce Commission to abandon its narrow gauge line to Leadville, Colorado. This volume traces that journey and has the following chapters: The Two Forks Dam Proposal; "Donation" of the South Park Line; The Three Year test period; Abandonment Plans and the ICC; Dismantling from South Platte to Climax, Colorado; The Denver to South Platte Segment; and South Park Engines in New York and Central City, Colorado.
