Giuseppes Depot Banquet Line

Information may not be reliable

October 26, 1871, the first passenger train stopped at the soon-to-be Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Depot in the infant city of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Many trains followed, bringing hearty souls of adventurous spirit... miners dreaming of quick wealth in the gold and silver mines of the region, settlers searching for a new start at the gateway to the Colorado Rockies, socialites vacationing in "Little London" founded by railroad tycoon General William Palmer, tubercular sufferers seeking a cure in the dry, healing climate. The glorious parade ended in 1971, when the last passenger train faded from view... But that same Depot still stands, gracious as a grand lady slightly past her prime, a proud testimonial to her splendid history... And Giuseppe's Depot continues that fine tradition of western hospitality to today's visitors. Enjoy your meal and feel the rich history of our past.
