After the sharp right turn at the west end of town, then over the bridge, then take a left turn into the driveway. ← Bluetooth in the car → Tired and Cranky 4 replies on “River Bend, Lyons, CO” This appears a bit non sequitur. Lyons town hall is old railroad station. Railroad branch from Longmont still exists but ends a few miles shy of town. Railroad Ave continues to the west… I wonder where it went. Appears to be rail yards http://www.rare-maps.com/historicPhotoDetail.cfm?rid=1169 I also found pages which said narrow gauge from Lyons serviced some gold mines to the west of town.
