Eldorado Springs Commuter Special

 

 This is a rare circa 1906 postcard view of the Eldorado Springs Railway Company's passenger operation. Three miles of standard gauge track connected the resort of Eldorado Springs, known as "The Coney Island of the West", to Marshall, a mining town three miles to the east. Two years later, the Colorado & Southern took over the trackage and was finally electrified by the Denver & Interurban.
