Then 1910

Old train at ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥

There’s no passenger rail service to Boulder today, and hasn’t been for decades. But in the early 1900s, a person could ride a train directly to and from the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder campus. The university depot, shown here, was located approximately where the Ramaley Biology building sits now, just behind Norlin Library. In 1910, the one-way fare from Denver was 70 cents. The last train went through on April 24, 1932.
