Description: Antique RPPC Colorado Midland Railroad Train Depot New Castle Colorado Men Original antique postcard - unposted - hand tinted Telegraph sign Little history from the web: In October of 1888 the Colorado Midland Railroad reached New Castle from Glenwood Springs, Aspen, and Leadville to the east. The railroad provided both convenient passenger service and, more importantly, a way to move large quantities of New Castle coal to the coke ovens in Cardiff and Redstone. Both the Colorado Midland and the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Company were in a race to reach the Western Slope. James John Hagerman, president of the Colorado Midland, planned a route from Leadville over the mountains to Basalt. At the same time he planned the line from Aspen to New Castle. The Denver and Rio Grande route was through the Colorado River Valley and Glenwood Canyon, and the tracks reached New Castle shortly after the Colorado Midland. The Colorado Midland tracks terminated in New Castle, while the Denver and Rio Grande continued its tracks west toward Grand Junction. Both lines shared the tracks west of town.
