A short Colorado narrow gauge railroad, The Argentine Central Railway ran from a connection with the Colorado & Southern at Silver Plume to Waldorf and served the silver mines of the region. A tourist operation went up to the summit of Mt. McClellan, as shown here in this card postmarked 1908. Using switchbacks and Shay locos to reach the summit, passengers were treated to rides in vintage arch-roofed C&S coaches.
