Midland Terminal Railroad Depot

Teller County

The Midland Terminal Railroad was one of three that served this major mining district.  The railroad arrived in 1894, and the depot opened for passenger and freight service the following year.  The railroad brought ores down to Colorado Springs and Pueblo for processing and sustained the mining community by transporting necessities and luxuries.
