Promotional work from the Colorado & Southern Railway that offers views and descriptions of a few of the scenic delights that a passenger might see.

"How long ago these towering mountains were lifted from the sea, the wisest philosopher of the world can not tell. At what time those marvelous canons were chiseled, how many eons have passed since the beautiful mountain parks lay spread out before the enraptured gaze of primeval man, no mortal can say. Even the profoundest scientist, backed by all the research of modern inquiry, can not designate the time when the rude aborigine first set eyes upon the snow-capped summits which appear to hang like blue clouds over the western horizon."
