The Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad was a narrow gauge operation that served the Victor and Cripple Creek mining districts of Colorado. It's not known for sure how many cards were published in this F&CC series, although at least two are known to exist. The cards are divided-back, post 1908 cards and were probably published either after merger (most likely) or just shortly before the road was merged in with others in the area 'in the early 1900s'.The numbers '1921.' and '1917.' have nothing to do with date the views were originally photographed because those dates would have been after the road disappeared through merger. A guess would be they are general views showing Colorado scenery rather than views of the railroad in particular. For more information on the F&CC, click Here.
