The northern end of cutoff was named Orestod (Dotsero spelled backwards) near Bond, Colorado. Ferdinand Hayden published an extensive survey of Central and Southwest Colorado in 1877, and used the location of the town of Dotsero as his "Dot Zero" (reference point) for his survey maps. The station name exists from the construction of the Standard Gauge railroad line to Glenwood Springs in the 1890s. Currently the railroad line to the east from this junction point over Tennessee Pass lies dormant. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dotsero, Colorado」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
