Formerly a busy railroad junction on the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, Colton is a landmark on U.S. Route 6 between the cities of Spanish Fork and Price. __TOC__ History The site was first settled in 1883 under the name of Pleasant Valley Junction, where the Pleasant Valley Railroad connected the mining town of Winter Quarters, to the south, to the Rio Grande line.

Serling had expressed an open dis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
