Denver Rails -The Railroads of Denver and the West

Brighton was a busy point on the Cheyenne to Denver line. There was a yard and division point for traffic to the Boulder branch, Dacono, Ft. Collins and up to La Salle.

On the west side of the tracks just south of Bridge St. is this structure. Looks like it may have been a UP building or just a business next to the tracks with a siding with car- height doors.

Looking south down the tracks.

Obviously, a siding fed this building in the past.

Street side of the same building.

Looking north down the tracks, at left is the old depot.
