The Mighty Midland and the Towns it Built

    The Colorado Midland Railway was the first Standard Gauge railroad to pierce the Rockies through the Great Divide, bringing commerce, to many cities and towns along the line. The Ute Pass (from Colorado City to Divide) was transformed from homesteads and mining camps to resort towns and transportation hubs for gold, cattle, timber, produce, and their world famous excursions...namely their Wildflower Excursion with the bonus fossil gathering stops. 

     Witness the tenacious characters that took the bull by it's horns and  transformed the area from homesteads to resorts and towns that still carry the history of the Colorado Midland to this day.
