Part 7 – Latham Crossing to Ft Collins is now live.

Latham Station was the last stop on the South Platte River Route. From Latham after 1864, one went south to Denver on what was now the main line, or crossed the South Platte and followed the Cache la Poudre NW into the foothills at LaPorte and points west. Only a short run away – 30 miles or so – LaPorte was another major home station. The route that had headed south to Denver came from the south to cross the la Poudre at the LaPorte station and re-join the original trail.
