The Colorado Central and Pacific Railroad Company was incorporated in January 1868 as successor to the Colorado and Clear Creek Railroad Company (the enabling legislation proscribed the change in name) which was chartered by W.A.H. Loveland. The name was again changed to Colorado Central Railroad Company before the railroad had been in operation a year. Colorado Improvement Company, a subsidiary of the railroad, was responsible for the early development of the railroad. In 1877 a Wyoming subsidiary, known as Colorado Central Railroad of Wyoming Territory, was formed. In 1890 both railroad companies were included in the consolidation which made up the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf Railroad. In 1898 the former Colorado Central Railroad narrow gauge property became the Clear Creek District of the Colorado and Southern Railway company. These narrow gauge lines west of Golden and a third rail operation from Denver to Golden ceased operation, and rails were taken up before the mid 1940s.
