R. from Black Hawk to Central City. The most wonderful piece of railroad engineering in America. A distance of nearly five miles is run to overcome one mile and a quarter, at an elevation of 600 feet in that distance. The track forms the letter Z, and as you pass along the Snowy Range above and the thriving towns below, it affords a sight never to be forgotten, and no one visiting Colorado should fail to take a trip over this wonderful road. Some of the best views are "The Snowy Range." "Switch Back." "End of Track." "High Trestle Bridge." "Packard Gulch." "Deep Cut." &c, &c."; Title printed on front of photoprint.; R7100115961
