Episode Synopsis

Join us for this week’s episode of Roundhouse Crosstalk as we explore the Colorado-Kansas Railroad. This little-known railway had big dreams of providing electricity to parts of Kansas and consisting of over 300 miles of electric track. Though this line never succeeded in its ambitious goals, it made a lasting impact on the region through its unintended involvement in local politics that is still felt today.
