2 PM G51/53 Fruit production of the Grand
River Valley-
Presented by Tom VanWormer
Shortly after the Ute Indians were removed from
Western Colorado, the farmers, orchardists and
miners moved into the area of the Grand Valley.
By 1885 the Grand River Valley (now after 1922
Colorado River Valley) was producing major fruit
crops. When the Colorado Midland and Denver &
Rio Grande railways, built the Rio Grande
Junction Railway from Rifle to Grand Junction,
one of the major products shipped to both the
east and west coasts of America was the
outstanding peaches grown in the area. The
newspapers of the region proclaim major amounts
of fruit shipped equally east and west with the
Colorado Peaches being hits in the markets of
Japan, Australia, England and Germany. While
the two railroads had solid train with cars
loaded with peaches in large steams of
refrigerated cars, almost half of the early crop
was moved in passenger trains as “Express” to
meet the market demands. In this presentation
the various forms of marketing, packaging,
shipment and customer sales are explored in the
expansion of the markets to meet the increasing
production availability of the product. The
Federal Government aided the production by
establishing numerous reclamation projects along
the western slope. Why are Palisade Peaches
better known than Penrose Apples?
The
Presenter has been giving presentations centered
on Colorado Railroad topics since 2009 and is
currently on the Board of Directors for the
Colorado Midland Historical Society, Palmer Lake
Historical Society and is an instructor for the
PILLAR life long Learning Institute in Colorado
Springs and regular presenter for the Divide CO,

2 PM G51/53 Operations within the Colorado
City/Colorado Springs Yard Limits 1895
Presented by Tom VanWormer
This is a look into the conditions and industry
in the area of Colorado Springs (today) ranging
from the former Santa Fe Rwy Depot located in
the area of Colorado Ave. & Pike’s Peak Ave. on
the east to the Red Rocks Open Space on the
west. The operations and buildings in the
Colorado Midland’s (later Midland Terminal’s)
yard located along Cimarron Ave. from the
Roundhouse at 21st St. to the old depot located
at 25th St. to the smelters located at 31st St
on the Red Rocks Open Area. All of the known
industries and businesses served by rail in this
area are discussed along with operations of the
railways in this key area of both cities are
investigated. Many of the deed restrictions
instituted by Gen. Wm. J. Palmer in the original
property deeds are discussed as they were able
to impact the growth and direction taken in the
growth of Colorado Springs. This presentation
investigates the early population distribution
between “sinful” Colorado City and “heavenly”
Colorado Springs. The nature of the various
neighborhoods as they were in 1895 becomes a
major topic covered in this effort. It can be
done by slides or on a tour.
The Presenter has been giving presentations
centered on Colorado Railroad topics since 2009
and is currently on the Board of Directors for
the Colorado Midland Historical Society, Palmer
Lake Historical Society and is an instructor for
the PILLAR life long Learning Institute in
