Remnants of the Midland Terminal Railway 1929-1995, US Hwy 24 Colo. Springs Manitou Springs Ute Pass!
In 1929, local Colorado filmmaker Ira Current used 16mm black and white film to capture passenger and freight trains of the Midland Terminal Railway as they traversed the mountainous Ute Pass out of Manitou Springs, Colorado. Then in 1995, the remnants that remained of this historic rail line were documented, including scenes that have disappeared since the mid 1990s. Visit the terminals, tunnels and right-of-way left behind after the abandonment of the Midland Terminal Railway in 1949.

Thank you for keeping the Midland Terminal alive. My grandfather helped build the Carlton Mill between Cripple Creek and Victor bringing about the demise of the Railroad. Even so, it’s history is still near and dear to the residents of the District who remember hearing that train whistle as the trains passed through their towns.

@WaltLoevyActionTrainVideos Год назад

The railroad is worthy of remembrance, for sure.

That old footage is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, yes, I remembered that there's a section of former Midland Terminal trackage between the mining town of Cripple Creek and the closed Anaconda mines, which have been converted to narrow gauge track, and it's now called the Cripple Creek and Victor Narrow Gauge Railroad. It offers a 4-mile round trip that offers views of Cripple Creek as well as many mines in the area. There's also a old Midland Terminal depot in Cripple Creek, which is now a museum.

How long did it take for them to drill those tunnels? You probably could have had a big business back them drilling tunnels in the Rockies. So many railroads.

@WaltLoevyActionTrainVideos 8 дней назад

Interesting question. I don't know.

@farmerdave7965 Год назад

I've walked through those tunnels.

@WaltLoevyActionTrainVideos Год назад

Much more difficult (impossible?) to do now.

@OKFrax-ys2op Год назад

I wonder where’s the location of the tracks going under Hwy 24 in the 1:24 of the video?

@WaltLoevyActionTrainVideos Год назад

The tracks stopped just short of going under Interstate 25 In that shot. They've since been removed. The area is now America the Beautiful Park in Colorado Springs.

@OKFrax-ys2op Год назад

@@WaltLoevyActionTrainVideos there were tracks removed in the 1990’s behind Safeway, next to Hwy 24 in Old Colorado city, any idea if they were Midland RR at one time?

@WaltLoevyActionTrainVideos Год назад

Yes, that was the Colorado Midland heading west out of Colorado Springs. I don't know if that portion of the line was abandoned in the 1990s.

@OKFrax-ys2op Год назад

@@WaltLoevyActionTrainVideos I met a lady who’s in her 80’s, she said he husband scraped a short portion of track from there sometime in the 1990’s. She said it was a two week job, so not much was left of the reminder of the portion of the line. Now that’s somewhere behind the Safeway area in Old Colorado city.
