It was one of the most popular tourist attractions in Colorado and remained so well into the twentieth century. Silver Plume could be reached by rail on a day trip from Denver via the Georgetown Loop. A thrilling ride into the Colorado Rockies thru Clear Creek Canyon and over the loop could be done for a modest fee. ... Eventually automotive travel after WWI brought an end to passenger service over the line in 1928. ... Freight traffic continued until 1939 when the line was abandoned."--Page 1
