    The Cripple Creek Central Railway Company was formed by Henry Blackmer in 1904. The line acquired some choice properties from the Denver and Southwestern Railway Company and eventually controlled the Midland Terminal Railway, the Florence & Cripple Creek Railroad, the Golden Circle Railroad, the Canon City & Cripple Creek Railroad, the La Bella Mill, the Water & Power Company and the Golden Colorado Trading & Transfer Company. As a result, most rail traffic in and out of the District was under Blackmer's control. In 1906, Kessler & Company, representing a group of Boston businessmen, gained control of the line and its properties. (Henry Blackmer was a Cripple Creek gold baron and made his fortune in Colorado banking. His wife was heiress to the Carter Liver Pill fortune, created by her father. Blackmer is best known for his involvement and conviction in the Teapot Dome scandal, and lived much of his adult life in exile.)
