The Ghost Town of Gilman by Brian Cattelle, from the Bare USA series, “a study of natural beauty in contrast with man-made decay.”I am riding on a limited express, one of the crack trains of the nation.Hurtling across the prairie into blue haze and dark air go fifteen all-steel coaches holding a thousand people.(All the coaches shall be scraps and rust and all the men and women laughing in the diners and sleepers shall pass to ashes.)- Carl SandburgGilman, in Colorado, was a zinc and lead mining community served by the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. The Environmental Protection Agency ordered the abandonment of the town site in 1984. Toxic pollutants had poisoned the groundwater. -- source link
