Rocky's 'Walking the Line' series enjoyable
Saturday, October 27 at 1:57 AM

As a 75-year-old native of Denver, I have thoroughly enjoyed the "Walking the
Line" series by Kevin Flynn and the photos by Darin McGregor.
I lived on the west side for my first 28 years and much of what they described
in the first two articles was familiar territory to me and my friends growing
up.
May I add a historical factoid to this great story? The old Denver Tramway local
No. 75 streetcar used part of the old rail line that the FasTracks will replace
to get from downtown to Barnum.
As I recall, it came across the old Larimer Street viaduct to Federal Boulevard,
then went south on Federal and turned west to join the interurban line at what
is now Sanchez Gulch. It left the main line at Hazel Court to take a zigzag
route south to its destination at First Avenue and Knox Court.
