Following the C&S over Boreas Pass - Boreas to Farnham Spur - video

I posted videos to experience the C&S from Como to Boreas Summit a few years back and have finally gotten to do a little work on the stretch west of Boreas heading toward Breckenridge.  This video covers one mile from the summit through to the site of Farnham or Farnham Spur.  I found a few railroad-era photos to line up along the way and even some shots of Farnham Spur that I had not seen before (on the Breckenridge History Archives site).

Enjoy!

Here are the previous two parts of this video series:

 

And one video covering the remaining structures and displays at Boreas as they were in 2018.

South Platte, Waterton, Foxton, Buffalo video

I found an enjoyable video (found at the bottom of this post) that covers a stretch of the Platte Canyon route of the Colorado & Southern/DSP&P.  It was produced by Jim Hansen for a series called Jeep Trails.  It includes film, historical and present-day photos, and some good narration including colorful stories.  

Of particular interest to South Park fans are:

2:19 South Platte and the still-standing (for now) South Platte Hotel.  Hansen also goes into the story of the hotel's original owners. 

4:38 Waterton and the rock formations that were popular in railroad days and today.

5:06 Foxton, including the log building that still remains from the days of the DSP&P and C&S.

5:34 Lastly, Hansen shares about the town of Buffalo (Creek) and the JW Greene Mercantile building.
