Description
Riding Denver's Rails: A Mile-high Streetcar History Discover the fascinating story of Denver's streetcar system, which once boasted one of the largest in the nation. From the early horsecars of the Denver Horse Railroad Company to the electric trolleys of the South Denver Cable Railway Company, this book takes you on a tour of the city's glorious transit past. As the city grew, so did its streetcar system, making stops at various locations, including Colfax Avenue Railway and the Denver Tramway. Although the last of the city's streetcars were pulled from service in the 1950s, Denver continues to expand its modern public transportation system. This book explores the history of the city's transit system and its modern improvements. Join Denver historian Kevin Pharris on a journey through the city's transit history, from the early days of streetcars to the present day.
