This is one of the caches in a series of caches dedicated to Fallen Flag railroads. Fallen Flags are those railroads that no longer exist either through abandonment or corporate takeover. With each cache will come a short history lesson explaining a little something about the railroad.
DSP&P are the initials of the Denver, South Park, and Pacific railroad. It was a narrow gauge line (3’ between the rails) that started life in Denver in 1874 and was headed to the mining camps in the mountains.
Como was the major division point on the railroad. One part of the line headed for Gunnison through Alpine Tunnel and the other diverged at this point to head for Leadville by going over Boreas Pass and Fremont Pass. Here the railroad built a 6 stall roundhouse, a hotel, and other associated building. The railroad grade can be seen to the north across the gulch.
There is no need to cross any fences.
