Re: C&S Crossing over Hampden in Denver.

Great bit of digging, thanks, Jeff. I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that the abandonment of the line south of Hampden happened when the highway was widened to 4 lanes. Since Beets were on the decline and the cost for a bridge either over or under would have been prohibitive, there must have been a deal worked out.
I remember the dogleg in the line. When I worked for an RV accessories manufacturer back in the late '60's, I used to deliver to Sun Recreational Vehicles, which was just north of Hampden in the industrial park there. The C&S was behind the building and ended about 1/2 block to the south. It was always a nice change to take Riverside Drive and follow some of the old C&S rather than taking Santa Fe. Hampden was four lane and the Country Line ended at the North End of Westbound Hampden.
