Trains that traveled east toward the Alpine Tunnel left Gunnison and reached Parlin roughly 11 miles later. A few landmarks still exist to help one identify the former DSP&P/C&S grade through the small town. In this video I visited the site of Parlin and point out the location of the right-of-way and the wye. At the end we travel on today's CR-76 which is on the old right-of-way. Toward the end I point out where the ROW leaves the road.
The west leg of the Parlin wye curved just behind the barn.
The Parlin post office.
Across US-50 is look westbound is the right-of-way leading to Gunnison.
The C&S grade is no CR-76 heading east out of Parlin. Not far from Parlin the right-of-way goes to the right (following the telephone poles) and the road veers to the left.
