In this video, filmed fall of 2022, you will trace the Denver, South Park & Pacific/Colorado & Southern Railway's right-of-way from the town of Bailey to Maddox. Today's US 285 is now on top of the old railroad grade. Along the way you will see places where the trains once stopped such as the resort of Glen Isle where the 1901 hotel still stands and the original Glen Isle wait station (now restored in Bailey). You will also see the stop at Grousemont and its wait station (now combined with the restored Glen Isle wait station in Bailey). Lastly, is a stop at Maddox where many C&S boxcars were once filled with ice and sent to Denver. At the end is a look at where the RR grade leaves 285 on a ranch driveway.
