PUEBLO, COLORADO
Prior to the devastating flood of 1922, Pueblo was in contention to being the state capital of Colorado. The D&RGW's affiliation
with the Colorado Fuel & Iron (CF&I) company, made Pueblo a major steel producing town in the west. It served as a major
connecting for Denver as well as parent Missouri Pacific, which co-owned the D&RGW along with the Western Pacific. Rich
anthracite ore from Crested Butte and limestone from the CF&I quarries at Monarch along the the narrow gauge, were shipped
to Pueblo for steel production.
At Pueblo, the First Division mainline from Denver ended the First District, and the Second District mainline began
turning west towards Canon City and continuing on to Salida.
Pueblo is modeled only as a staging point for the layout; however:
- The trackside view ot the famous Depot is to be modeled on the eastern end of our staging deck.
