Book Description
Railroad expansion to the West in the late 19th Century brought unprecedented prosperity as ever greater numbers of Americans looked for new opportunities and a fresh start. The troubled history of how railroads survived the challenge of building a route through mountainous Colorado is incredibly complex. Palisade was not included on any routes until 1890, though it quickly became a hub for shipping delicious Palisade peaches and other fruit to markets in the Midwest and was an excellent source of bituminous coal. Passenger trains also stopped in Palisade for several decades.
