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.
Garo (or Garos) is a point on the Como to Gunnison line where the Alma branch split off. The Alma branch went to Fairplay and then on to London Junction, now Alma Junction. At one time it was thought that the branch would be extended over or under Hossier Pass for a line to Breckenridge but that never came about. In October 1912, the station located here was moved to Fairplay. The mainline is under the road.
There are railroad artifacts at the cache location. Please feel free to touch but don't remove. They are part of Colorado's history.
