Bridge and abandoned rail lines. You will have to cross active railroad to access from the west. The area is known as Pueblo Junction, and most trains coming through town must travel here if they're headed down south or out east. Average speed is just faster than walking pace. Still, don't let yourself get spotted by crews on the trains.

Bridge could be unsafe, though I didn't fall through :)

Just a really cool old bridge and railway. Old RR Switches are cool to observe. The stands have long walked off. A few remaining telegraph poles have shot up insulators hanging around. Sometimes if you look in the dirt, you'll find bottle shards and bits of old broken RR china dishes.

An old bridge and railway line, unused for quite some time. Connects to a still functional section.
Originally built in the 1880s by the Missouri Pacific railroad, it was abandoned in the 1960s when the ATSF and MOPAC combined to a single set of rails from NA Junction east of Boone, Colorado to the joint railyard about a half-mile west of this bridge.
In October of 2022, Union Pacific removed the final standing truss bridge and remediated the area surrounding. They also finished track removal on the west side of Fountain creek. Unknown if the tracks and switches still remain near Runyon Lake.

Land will remain BNSF/Union Pacific railroad and city of Pueblo held, part of the Colorado Parks & Wildlife run Runyon Lake, and Pueblo City Parks owned trails bisect the area in question.
