Denver had to create its own railroad in the late 19th century to secure vital transportation links for trade and commerce, as it was geographically isolated from major rail networks. The lack of direct access to railroads hindered economic growth and development in the region. By establishing their own railroad, Denver aimed to facilitate the movement of goods and people, boost local industries, and enhance its status as a regional hub. This effort ultimately contributed to the city’s expansion and prosperity.
