Description
History of the Cimarron
The difficult terrain in the area around Cimarron had seemed to make it impossible to run a railroad through. However by the early 1880s, the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad was steadily working west across Colorado. General William Jackson Palmer, who owned the railroad, accepted the challenge of building a railroad through the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. In August of 1882, the first Denver and Rio Grande train arrived in a small construction camp dubbed "Cimarron" because some of the workers thought it looked like Cimarron, New Mexico. Most thought that the tiny construction town would disappear when construction was over. However the terrain demanded helper engines and Cimarron developed into a real railroad town with a roundhouse and station facilities.
