Sometimes the only way to keep trains running on the Colorado and Southern was for crews to laboriously hand shovel snow from the tracks. This crew attempts to free a train trapped by slides between Hancock and the Alpine Tunnel.

Dressed in Sunday finery, Nina Churcher, held by Frank Churcher, presents a bouquet of flowers to Commodore W. S. Schley who doffs his hat in thanks on May 27, 1899. Schley, and Admiral William T.

Celebrities, dignitaries and politicians frequently made...

Colorado and Southern trains served Nathrop and the Western Slope via the Alpine Tunnel after the demise of the storied Denver, South Park and Pacific about 1899. The C & S struggled financially as did its predecessor, finally abandoning the run to Gunnison in 1910 with closure of the Tunnel. The line from Buena Vista to Hancock was abandoned in 1924. (1)
Maud Perschbacher dates this picture as taken in July or August, 1910 at the Alma Station....

Picnics in the mountains offered time for a little relaxation and a chance to get out of town. The falls of the North Fork of the South Arkansas River northwest of Maysville were easily accessible by buggy or via the railroad and an easy hike.

Increased mining activity – and some small financial successes in the late 1890’s – prompted a spate of prospecting by Salida businessmen and even a few children. They swarmed up the gulches northeast of town with picks, shovels and a little dynamite seeking “color.” They weren’t disappointed – at first – because they found showings of gold, silver, copper and lead. For a time during the winter of 1895-96, many businesses closed early...

Clay was packed into three-brick molds which were then dumped on the ground in long rows to sun dry. This unidentified boy may have been responsible for the thousands of bricks drying around him. Most of Salida’s buildings are made of this soft, red local brick.

Young men took to bicycles in the early 1890’s like they do to cars and pickup trucks today. As with bicyclists today, the clothing had to fit the sport, and it was suits, ties, hats and vests – Sunday finery. Most were equally comfortable on these “safety” bikes or on the high-wheel “ordinaries.” They formed riding clubs, held a variety of endurance and short distance contests, and sometimes managed to rub parents and law officers the...

Although most of the mess from the January 1888 fire is cleaned up in this summer photo, evidence can still be seen. Despite a massive rebuilding effort – mostly in brick this time – there are still many open lots along F Street above First Street. Rubble from the fire is visible where it was dumped along the bank of the Arkansas River near the F Street Bridge. After two major fires, it is interesting to note how much larger the area that is today...

Merchant and tailor William S. (Scotty) Buchanan employed men and women in the manufacture of clothing. Peeling wallpaper attests to a leaky roof and holes in the window blinds speak of neglect and wear. It doesn’t appear to be a comfortable work place.
