Narrow-gauge railroads connected Colorado mining towns in Gold Rush days Gold was found in the Colorado Rockies northeast of Gunnison, which inspired a small gold rush in the late 1870’s. In the early 1880’s, ambitious plans were made to connect a series of high mountain Colorado towns via the narrow-gauge Denver South Park and Pacific Railroad. Pitkin was an important stop below the incredible Alpine Tunnel, which was bored through the Continental Divide to connect towns along the route.
