I was driving down North Ford Street yesterday afternoon, when the sun was at just the right angle to really highlight the old scar from the funicular railway. For a few years in the 19-teens, Golden had two of these railroads. One went up Lookout Mountain and the other other traveled up South Table Mountain to Castle Rock.
