Remaco Spur

The Remaco Spur was a 1.6 mi (2.6 km)[1] U.S. government-owned railway line constructed from the Golden-Denver "Tramway Route 84" (Denver Tramway Corporation's 1908 electric Denver & Interurban Railroad)[2] for transporting supplies and munitions to/from the Denver Ordnance Plant in Lakewood, Colorado. The line connected between Oak and Quail streets[3] at the Morningside shelter and was operated by the Remington Arms Company[4] with railyard trackage in the Denver Ordnance Zone[5] of ~11 mi (18 km).[6]
