Re: Weston on the DSPP

Weston was located on the east end of the road over Weston Pass, approx 3.5 miles southwest of Garos. I presume it was named for the wagon road. Weston was a mining supply town(not a mining town)and temporary DSP&P railhead storage area during construction. This wagon road was a Stage Route that connected towns to the railroad. So much freight and supplies were stored here that lanes were made to get the wagons and stages through. Once the line was completed,Weston ceased to exist. Cohen's Spur is located at the site MP 107.67 and was a 4 car spur. This information was gleened from the Memorial Edition of Denver South Park and Pacific by Mac Poor and from the book Ghost Towns Colorado Style Volume Two by Kenneth Jessen. I have not found a picture of the Trestle yet,but I'll keep looking
