CC-Clear Creek Canyon 1
| November 25, 2009 05:43PM |
As I'm leaving Golden soon and it was such a nice day out, I thought I'd wander up Clear Creek canyon and take snapshots of some of the few remnants of the railroad. I'll start with a picture of the Forks from 1900 and compare with a shot from near the original location from this afternoon. The original spot doesn't really exist now except as a point in space.
Before the cut-off to Black Hawk was re-worked a few years ago, there was more evidence of the railroad. Couldn't see much of significance at the junction now
