The Colorado Springs & Cripple Creek District Railway was a narrow-gauge railroad that operated in Colorado from 1894 to 1937. It connected the city of Colorado Springs to the mining town of Cripple Creek, facilitating the transport of passengers and goods during the gold rush era. The railway played a crucial role in the economic development of the region. The railway featured scenic routes through the Rocky Mountains, offering breathtaking views of the landscape. Although it ceased operations in the late 1930s, remnants of the railway can still be seen today, serving as a historical reminder of the area's rich mining heritage.
