Comanche Crossing of the Kansas Pacific Railroad
Comanche Crossing of the Kansas Pacific Railroad, Historic railroad district in Strasburg, Colorado.
The Comanche Crossing features a railroad bridge over Comanche Creek and includes a monument at Lyons Park marking railroad achievements.
The site gained recognition on August 15, 1870, when workers installed the final spike completing the first continuous transcontinental railroad line.
Comanche Crossing represents the determination of railroad workers who established essential transportation connections across the United States during westward expansion.
Visitors can examine the historical markers and preserved railroad infrastructure while learning about transportation development through informational displays at Lyons Park.
This 9.9-acre district maintained its position as the sole all-rail route across the country until March 1872, when additional connections emerged.
