Alma Junction was the terminal of the Fairplay–Alma branch of the Colorado and Southern railway in Colorado in the United States, which has been abandoned since the early 20th century.[1] The depot closed in 1924, and the branch itself in 1937.[2] It was also known as London Junction, and according to timetables published in November 1883 there were two trains per day between it and Garos.[3]
The spur line of the railway, through Park City up to the London Mines, had been completed in 1882, the Mines themselves having been established in the 1870s.[4] By 1884, a small town of some 150 people had grown up around the depot.[4] It had an ore processing works,[4][5] and for a short period between 1910 and 1912 (because of the death of its owner George Moe) a smelter.[5]
