Following the C&S through Platte Canon: Muldoon to Dome Rock to Westall Monument
In this video we take a ride on the former roadbed of the Denver South Park & Pacific and later Colorado & Southern Railway in Platte Canon. Using footage provided by Phil Stock, we begin a little beyond Muldoon and then travel along the South Platte River to Dome Rock. A short distance from here we stop at the memorial to Billy Westall, the brave engineer who gave his life to save 450 passengers just a bit west of the spot of the monument dedicated to him.

A few more things to look for in Platte Canon. Always look for railroad history while fishing.
Awesome! So cool! I think it was around north of dome rock (wherever the paved road joins the DSP&P right of way) that my ex and I came upon a car that had flipped into the river and another car that was trying to save the ladies. Kind of insane to come up on that. We helped pull the ladies out of the river but none of our cell phones worked, thankfully a couple other cars came by and 911 was called from one of the houses nearby. Both ladies who were in the car that went into the river were safe. My ex and I were doing exactly this! Tracing the DSP&P!
