Yes, the Amusement Park is Denver's familiar 6 Flags Elitch Gardens. It had
been a fixture on the west side of town before being moved to the old Rice Yard.

Hi everyone.
When was the 7th Street Yard renamed the Rice Yard?
The 7th St Yard was oringinally the D&NO's, I take it.
And the C&S redeveloped it to suit the changing times?
Regards, Mark

Steve,
I'm at work, so I don't have Hol's book in front of me, but IIRC north is at
the top of his drawing.? The Platte River ran more or less to the northeast
along the north and west edges of Rice Yard.? The yard was to the north of the
D&RGW's Burnham yard.? Yes, there is an amusement park there now.? If you can
get hold of the book "Denver's Railroads" it has a map supplement that will
tell you more than you could ever want to know about track layouts in Denver.?

Subject: [CBQ] C&S 7th Street Yard
I am planning a new layout and want to include the C&S 7th st. yard in
this.(cir 1940-1970) I have Hol's book, "The Colorado Road" and on
page 322 it shows the yard. Does anyone know which way this is
oriented? I have found 7th St. in Denver on Google Earth and, I
presume, the Platte River but it looks like some sort of amusement park
is there now.(if I have the right Location) I just need to know how
this fits in with Rio Grande's Burnham yard in terms of location. I
grew up in Nothern Colorado and didnt get to many rail location as I
was 10 with parent wiht no interest in trains! Does anyone know of some
simplified maps of Denver's trackage during the time frame of 1940-
1970 Steve Fuchs, College Place, WA
