This is Pritchett, Colorado, population 137, located in Baca County in Colorado's southeast corner. The Santa Fe pushed what became its Manter Sub out here, making it one of the more obscure outposts of Chico's far flung empire. The road operated a tri-wekly mixed train to here from Satanta up to Amtrak. In 1996 the line was turned over to the Cimarron Valley (CVR), but it's said they never ran a train past Springfield, about 14 miles east. the rails are now gone; the elevators look unused. |
