Just a quick group of photos from my recent visit to Brandon, Colorado on the eastern plains. Brandon was once a stop on the Kansas & Pacific Railroad, but has faded into oblivion. Today not much remains at Brandon other than some grain storage silos, two or three occupied homes, and numerous abandoned houses, businesses, and automobiles. The red brick bank building which is dangerously close to collapsing is the highlight of the town- A concrete vault built into the foundation which once housed the safe is visible in the back corner of the building.

A Quonset hut whipped by the prairie winds housed an old boat
A close look reveals a building swallowed by shrubs, the antenna tower to the left suggests this may have been a radio station at some point in time
Another old dwelling in the town
