Additional Details:
This is one of the most interesting railway depots in this country, as it is from this depot that trains leave for the nine-mile climb up Pike's Peak. Lieutenant Pike, who discovered this famous mountain, solemnly declared, "I believe no human being can ascend to its pinnacle". He was wrong - a train carries thousands to the summit each year.
