Mark,
The Connors Spur served a number of small industries, several coal
companies, lumber yards, etc. The tracks were part of the old line
from Denver to Falcon, with a branch to Colorado Springs, then on to
Pueblo. The southern portion of the line was washed out in 1935. As a
pilot I have followed the old roadbed from Denver south, much of it
can still be seen from the air. The Connors Spur operated until 1993.
There is an excellent book about this line called "Denver and New
Orleans" by James R. Jones, published by Sundance. Many photos and maps.
