Colorado Midland Railway – A Short History & Virtual Tour of HO Layout – Operations & JMRI Operations Pro
Jeff Stroup will provide us with a two-prong clinic for this month. First up is a short history of the Colorado Midland Railway or Railroad depending on what time frame we are discussing. This railroad had the distinction of being the first standard gauge crossing of the Continental Divide in Colorado. It had the misfortune of not reaching Salt Lake City but terminating at Grand Junction. It was for a time a subsidiary of the Santa Fe. It is also important to note that Pacific is not included in the name.
The second portion of the clinic will be a virtual tour of Jeff’s HO layout of the Colorado Midland. This is a steam era layout with interesting period specific structures and details. Further information will be provided on the operations of the railway and the use of JMRI OperationsPro.
Clinic On Hold – Waiting on Date
History of the Denver Tramway Streetcar .04
Wally Weart will present the above-mentioned Clinic. This was the last streetcar to operate in revenue in Denver, and it had several narrow escapes during its life. One of its escapes was the conversion from standard gauge to a narrow-gauge electric streetcar. Wally will add some history of the Denver Tramway network along with some additional pictures he has accumulated. Wally is a long-time member of the Front Range Division and the NMRA.
