Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad.

Operation of this road into Florence stopped in January 1913. The crossing frog was taken up January 28th, 1913.

Brookside mine track was taken up in January 1914. We took up 12295-ft. of track leaving 642-ft. of track for bunk car spur. In August 1914, high water washed our track at the junction and the 642-ft. of track was taken up. However, another spur 530-ft. long was placed out of our main line.
