Lots of people have said I needed to change my altitude, or something like that. So we're staying for a few days with relatives in Arvada, a suburb of Denver. And high on the wall of a building in downtown Arvada is this beautiful mural of Arvada Junction on the Denver & Northwestern interurban. Narrow-gauge interurbans were very rare. This is out of my territory, but I believe the two steeplecabs are hauling coal in wooden gons from mines at Leyden to the line's Denver power plant, while a local car turns onto the branch to Golden. What a great picture!Monday, July 11, 2011

You are correct Mr. Hicks. The coal train would end up at 15th and Platte Street where the Denver Tramway had their power plant. The building still exists, but as a REI sports store. M E Moyano
