Nostalgia & History > Leadville

There was an article in the Vail Daily that said a Missouri Developer Buys Leadville Historic Rail Yard.  There is a nice picture of Harrison Avenue, the main street in Leadville, with the article.  The picture was taken on August 18, 2016.

I did a search of the Denver Public Library for Leadville Railroad Yards and got 5 photos.  I copied 2 of the photos.
