tampa, colorado
We all know about Tampa, Kansas. Mapquest says there is also a Tampa in Colorado. Directly between Keenesburg and Roggen, near interstate 76 along the old Burlington Northern railway. About 45 miles NE of Denver, on Hwy 6, the little spot in Weld County has no streets, just a dot, which I would guess indicates Tampa, CO is a dead train station. If you know anything about the place, please share it with me.

Tampa is the spot of an old railroad siding on the BNSF railway Brush Subdivision, northeast of Denver. The siding was removed about 20 years ago so now it’s not even a wide spot on the railroad. Nothing there, not even a house within 3 or 4 miles.
