[CBQ] Re: Abandonment of Original C&S Denver-Colo Springs Line

["ThomasM" <mustangcapt@comcast.net>]

A few years ago when I was a pilot with the Air Force Academy Aero Club it was 
interesting to follow abandoned rail lines from the air to see what might be 
left. I was surprised to see that the C&S line from the towns of Parker to 
Elisabeth, Elbert, Eastonville and Falcon could still be followed with traces 
of the road bed easily seen from about a thousand feet. I have the book "Denver 
& New Orleans" by James Jones which helped to identify those traces from the 
past as seen from the air.
