"The Georgetown Loop became a major railroad landmark in the 19th-century. It was one of the most popular tourist attractions in Colorado and remained so well into the twentieth century. Silver Plume could be reached by rail on a day trip from Denver via the Georgetown Loop. A thrilling ride into the Colorado Rockies thru Clear Creek Canyon and over the loop could be done for a modest fee. ... Eventually automotive travel after WWI brought an end to passenger service over the line in 1928. ... Freight traffic continued until 1939 when the line was abandoned."--Page 1

In 1860, thousands journeyed to the Colorado Territory, beckoned by reports of gold discoveries in the mountains west of Denver. In the early 1870s, W.A.H. Loveland built a railroad connecting Denver to the Clear Creek Mining District-the Colorado Central Railroad. Over the next 28 years, other lines were established, bought, sold, extended, and merged to service the mining towns of Black Hawk, Central City, Idaho Springs, and Silver Plume. In 1898, the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf, and the Denver Leadville & Gunnison were combined to form the Colorado & Southern Railway. After more than 40 years of dedication to the Clear Creek District, the railroad was scrapped in 1941. However, tourism would revitalize the area, and in the years to come a group of enthusiasts began to rebuild a portion of the old right of way. Toady, the spirit of the C&S is alive again, and rail fans can make the same journey over "The Loop" that thrilled tourists a century ago.
